Prediction for the match between Fulham vs West Ham, which will take place on December 17. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Fulham is a team that played in the Championship last season and now is a strong middle of the English elite division. The Londoners have always had a solid squad, but it was often not enough to keep their place in the EPL. Now they intend to stay in the elite for a long time. They had a perfect stretch in the second half of October, with two wins and two draws in four games. Before the international break, they suffered two defeats, which dropped them to ninth place in the standings.

For several seasons in a row, West Ham has claimed a place in the European Cup competitions, where they often finish, but this season the London team is fragile in the EPL. The Hammers started the current Championship with three defeats in a row with a total score - 0:5, and then gradually began to improve and cling to the points. Still, before the international break, they stagnated again. They suffered four more losses in the last five rounds, dropping to 16th place in the standings. On the other hand, the charges have been productive during the break in the league, beating Cambridge United and Udinese 4:2 and 3:1.

The confrontation between Fulham and West Ham is fundamental as it is a London derby. The Hammers are getting more comfortable in this game, as they have not lost five head-to-head encounters in a row and have won four times in this stretch. They approach the upcoming match as their favorite. During the December break, they already had two friendly games that they won by a margin of two goals, and they hadn't played for over a month, which lost their competitive practice. As a result, we should bet on West Ham's victory at odds of about 2.55.

Fulham and West Ham are two very powerful teams selecting performers who play open and entertaining soccer. This is evidenced by the statistics, according to which in the last 12 matches, there were 41 goals (3.42 average per game), with 11 times the bookmaker's total over (92%). The Hammers have scored at least three goals in five of their last six battles (83%). Moreover, the only face-to-face meeting of the opponents this season was also productive - 3:1, so the optimal option for the prediction is the total over 2.5 goals for 1.80, and separately it is worth betting on the individual total of West Ham over 1.5 goals for 2.27.
