Everton @ Fulham - May 10, 2025

There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned rivalry, and Saturday’s clash between Fulham FC and Everton FC is sure to deliver some excitement. With bragging rights firmly on the line, we’ll see which club can rise to the occasion when they meet under the lights. Opening odds had Fulham FC positioned at -112, while the draw was sitting comfortably at +246. Everton made the punters raise their eyebrows at +306.

Both squads have had their struggles of late, and while Fulham comes in fresh off a narrow 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa, Everton is bouncing off a lively 2-2 draw against Ipswich. Both teams have had some offensive trials, but Fulham has a slight advantage when it comes to consistent scoring output, netting an average of 1.4 goals per game compared to Everton’s 1 goal.

Fulham FC’s statistics suggest they handle the ball quite well with an impressive passing percentage of around 81.5%. They’re also making more shots, with an average of about 13.5 attempts per match, and a solid 4.3 of those being on target. In comparison, Everton struggles a bit, registering about 10.4 shots per game with only 3.4 on target. This discrepancy gives Fulham a clear edge.

Now let’s talk defense. Fulham doesn’t commit many fouls, averaging just over 11 per game, meaning they stay in control and are less likely to give away set-piece opportunities, which can be dangerous. On the flip side, Everton tends to commit a few more fouls at around 11.6 per match, which could play a factor in negating their attacking thrust.

Given Fulham’s stronger scoring capability, a good passing game, and disciplined defense, I expect them to come out on top. Betting on Fulham to win looks to be a juicy proposition. As for the total goals, I’m siding with the UNDER on the total. Both defenses might tighten up, reminiscent of Fulham’s last outing where only 1 goal was scored. Everton’s recent draw also hints at a more cautious approach.

With the crowd behind them at Craven Cottage, Fulham will be keen to make a statement and grab those crucial three points. I anticipate a hard-fought match, likely tipping the scales in favor of Fulham, maybe by a slim 1-0 or possibly 2-0 margin.

For those of you looking to back the odds, I’d take Fulham straight up and sprinkle a little on the UNDER. This is one of those scenarios where the stats paint a compelling picture, and sometimes you just can’t ignore the gut feeling. Keep your rituals close, place your bets responsibly, and enjoy the match. This is what soccer is all about, and I have a feeling Fulham is poised to seize the day.
