Fulham will play their first home match of the new Premier League season on Saturday, as they welcome Leicester City to Craven Cottage. Both sides will have their sights set on a first win of the campaign, but which club will win maximum points?

Before Betting On Fulham vs Leicester

Fulham started their campaign with a defeat at the Theatre of Dreams on Friday, but huge confidence would have been taken from the showdown by Marco Silva and his side. The Cottagers held their own against Man United away from home, and arguably could have left Manchester with at least a point if they weren’t so wasteful in the final third of the field.

Fulham managed two shots on target at United, but both efforts brought out excellent stops by the United goalkeeper. However, they were made to pay after switching off defensively in the final ten minutes of the showdown. But, they will be expected to respond this weekend when they host newly promoted Leicester.

Steve Cooper was delighted with his side’s start to the new Premier League season, as they picked up a point on their return to the top-flight against Tottenham. The Foxes rode their luck for long periods against Spurs, and they could have easily had too much to find in the second half had Tottenham took their chances in the opening 45 minutes.

However, Jamie Vardy once again showed his importance for Leicester, netting a crucial equalizer just before the hour mark. The effort means that Vardy has now scored over 100 Premier League goals since turning 30, and it also means that the Foxes have avoided defeat in each of their opening six matchday one fixtures in the Premier League.

Fulham have won each of their last two Premier League matches against Leicester, and three of their last four. That could be a trend worth following once again when they come up against the Foxes this weekend.
