Southampton vs Fulham Prediction
Southampton suffered the ignominy of being relegated earlier than any other team in Premier League history. The Saints are level on 11 points with Derby County and have five games to garner one point to avoid having the joint-worst points tally in PL history.
Fulham, for their part, have European qualification aspirations. However, that took a serious hit following consecutive losses, which made it three losses from their last four. The Cottagers are one of just two sides who failed to score against Southampton this season following their goalless draw in the reverse clash.
We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow victory and goals at both ends.
