West Ham vs Fulham Prediction: Visitors to make it three wins in a row

Fulham will be hoping to land a third consecutive victory in the Premier League when they travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham United on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

The hosts are winless in their previous six outings in the top flight and they are currently five points adrift of safety. Read on for my West Ham vs Fulham predictions, featuring the latest match odds and team news.

Team News

West Ham's only injury concern right now is goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who is dealing with a back issue.

With full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf at the Africa Cup of Nations with DR Congo and Senegal respectively, Kyle Walker-Peters and Oliver Scarles should once again deputise for the Irons.

It has been known for some time that the Irons were looking to move on striker Niclas Fullkrug, who joined from Borussia Dortmund 18 months ago. Injuries have not helped his cause but it is being reported that he could be set for a loan move to AC Milan in the January transfer window.

Premier League Odds

Fulham continue to cope without the services of Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey and Samu Chukwueze, who are on international duty with Nigeria at Afcon.

Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon remain out of action with hamstring injuries for the visitors. Muniz's absence leaves Raul Jimenez as the Cottagers' only recognised striker at the moment.

The veteran scored the winner against Nottingham Forest last time out, which came from the penalty spot. The Mexican has now scored all 11 spot-kicks he has taken in the Premier League.

West Ham vs Fulham Odds

West Ham are without a win in their last six league appearances but Fulham have won just two of their eight away trips in the top flight so far. The Hammers are 13/8 to come out on top here.

Two of their last four outings have been stalemates, with the draw available at 12/5.

Fulham are 7/4 (implied probability of 36.4%) to collect the three points, as they gun for a third consecutive victory in the Premier League.

Both teams have found the net in three of West Ham's previous four league games, with BTTS - Yes marketed at 8/13.

Match Result - Fulham @ 7/4

Six games without a win is concerning for West Ham, who are now five points adrift of safety. They will be grateful for Fulham beating Forest on Monday as that deficit could have been eight coming into the weekend.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side will try to do what the Tricky Trees couldn't do - take down the Cottagers. They will sense an opportunity to down Marco Silva's side as Fulham have been much stronger when playing at home.

The visitors have lost five of their eight away trips in the league so far and so they will look to improve their own fortunes on the road. Given West Ham's current circumstances, I think backing them for an away win seems sensible.

Fulham have won three of their previous five fixtures in the league, including each of their past two.

Anytime Goalscorer - Harry Wilson @ 21/10

Year after year there always seems to be a point in the season when Harry Wilson sparks into life for Fulham by scoring a goal, maybe grabbing an assist, and then it is hard to keep him quiet for while.

The Welshman has four goals across his last eight appearances in the Premier League, having also contributed three assists in that period. I think he's someone who offers value to get on the scoresheet at the London Stadium because he is someone who is never afraid to test a goalkeeper from range - and as we know he does have a rocket shot in his locker.
