At Craven Cottage on 22 November 2025, Fulham host Sunderland in a meeting between a team relying heavily on its home strength and a visitor enjoying an excellent campaign near the top of the table. Both sides arrive with contrasting patterns, which sets up a balanced and competitive encounter.
Fulham Strong at Home Despite Recent League Troubles
Fulham’s recent league form looks poor at first glance, with five losses in their last six Premier League matches. However, that statistic is misleading: four of those defeats were away from home, and the only home loss came narrowly against leaders Arsenal. At Craven Cottage, Fulham have been far more convincing, winning five of their last six home games across all competitions and scoring freely. Their 3–0 home win over Wolves showed again how different their level becomes in front of their supporters.
Sunderland Solid, Confident, and Still in the Top Four
Sunderland continue to deliver one of the surprise campaigns of the season, sitting firmly in the top four and competing confidently against the league’s stronger teams. Their 2–2 draw with Arsenal last weekend confirmed their ability to rise to the occasion. Although both of their league defeats came away - at Manchester United and Burnley - they have also collected a number of strong away results and maintain a balanced, disciplined approach on the road. Sunderland rarely collapse and generally remain competitive in every match.
Prediction: Double Chance – Sunderland or Draw (X2)
Fulham are dangerous at home, but Sunderland’s overall level, consistency, and tactical discipline give them a strong chance of avoiding defeat. With the visitors having shown they can handle tough environments, and Fulham lacking stability despite their home strength, the value leans toward the away side not losing.
The selection is X2 - Sunderland or Draw.
