Liverpool vs Fulham Prediction & Betting tips
The game between Liverpool and Fulham is scheduled at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. While Fulham has been doing well in recent weeks, this is not the case with Liverpool. For the first time since its founding in 1892, Liverpool have suffered five consecutive league defeats at Anfield. The Scousers have to end that series against Fulham.
Liverpool:
Liverpool will be unrecognizable in 2021. The current Liverpool cannot be compared in the slightest to the Liverpool of recent years. This has a number of causes. First, Liverpool has had a laundry list of injuries all calendar year. This actually applies to the entire season. For example, Liverpool has had to do without players like Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk for months. Another reason for Liverpool’s disappointing results in recent months is the lack of support from supporters. This can often be a decisive factor, especially at Anfield.
It has now been nearly a year since Liverool last played a home game at a swirling Anfield. That happened for the last time on March 11, 2020: Atlético Madrid at home (2-3 defeat after extra time). Especially in recent weeks, Liverpool seems to really miss the support of the supproters. No other explanation can be given for Liverpool’s five league defeats in a row at home. In recent weeks, Burnley (0-1), Brighton & Hove Albion (0-1), Manchester City (0-4) and Chelsea (0-1) have all been too strong for Liverpool. It is up to The Reds to turn their backs after Thursday night’s 0-1 defeat to Chelsea when Fulham is a guest at Anfield Road on Sunday afternoon.
Fulham:
Confidence at Fulham has skyrocketed in recent times. Scott Parker’s team is making a great advance in the Premier League and enforcement is suddenly not that unrealistic anymore. A few weeks ago, the world looked completely different for Fulham. At the time, it was well below the relegation streak along with West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United. Now Fulham is only three points behind Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion, the first two teams above the line.
After five games without a defeat (of which it won two), Fulham ran into a defeat midweek. On Thursday evening, Tottenham Hotspur was a guest at Craven Cottage and Fulham left the field with a 0-1 defeat. The Cottagers saw how a goal from Josh Maja was disallowed by the video referee. It was against Fulham for the first time in a number of games. With Liverpool out, there is now another tough game on the program for Parker’s team.
