A compelling London derby awaits as tenth-placed Fulham prepare to host struggling West Ham, currently languishing in eighteenth in the Premier League. This crucial fixture kicks off at Craven Cottage on Tuesday, 4th March 2026, at 7:30 PM GMT, with both sides desperate for points at opposite ends of the table.
Fulham vs West Ham Form
The Cottagers approach this encounter on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Tottenham in their last outing, a result that has propelled them into the top half of the Premier League table. This win continues a strong run of form for the home side, who have secured three victories and suffered three defeats in their last six league matches. Notably, Fulham's recent games have been goal-laden, with over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last six Premier League fixtures.
Meanwhile, the visitors are in a precarious position, sitting just above the relegation zone. Their last match saw them suffer a heavy 5-2 defeat at the hands of Liverpool. West Ham's recent form is concerning, having managed only two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six league encounters. The Hammers will be looking to stop a run of three consecutive losses in the league.
Fulham vs West Ham Head to Head
The most recent clash between these two London rivals saw Fulham emerge victorious, securing a narrow 1-0 away win against West Ham in December 2025.
Looking at the last six meetings, the overall record is finely balanced. Fulham have claimed three victories, West Ham two, with one match ending in a draw. Interestingly, a recurring theme in these specific encounters at Craven Cottage is a tendency for low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals being scored in six of their last seven home matches against the Hammers across all competitions.

Prediction: Fulham 1-1 West Ham
This London derby promises to be a tightly contested affair. Fulham, despite their higher league position and recent good form, face a West Ham side desperate for points to escape the relegation mire. The home side's strengths lie in their ability to attack down the wings and create long-shot opportunities, coupled with a commendable resilience in coming back from losing positions. They also excel at stealing the ball from the opposition. However, they do have weaknesses in defending against wing attacks and aerial duels.
West Ham, on the other hand, will look to utilise their counter-attacking prowess and ability to win the ball back. Their challenges include retaining possession, finishing scoring chances, and defending against long shots and set pieces. The statistics suggest that Fulham will likely score from a wing-play situation and will frequently steal the ball, while their ability to make a comeback if they concede first could be key. Given West Ham's struggles with protecting a lead, this could be a factor. With both teams having significant defensive vulnerabilities and offensive capabilities, a hard-fought draw seems a plausible outcome.

Despite the general trend of high-scoring games for Fulham recently, the head-to-head record at Craven Cottage tells a different story. Six of the last seven home matches for Fulham against West Ham have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a more cautious approach when these two sides meet on Fulham's turf. With West Ham's attacking struggles and Fulham's improved defensive solidity at home in this specific fixture, a low-scoring draw or a narrow victory for either side is likely, making 'Under 2.5 Goals' a valuable betting angle.
