Fulham have suffered 8 defeats in their last 10 games in all competitions and are heading into the upcoming fixture on a 3-game losing streak. For summer residents, such a season ending is quite logical. They scored 45 points and can easily end the season without fear of relegation.
The hallmark of Marco Silva’s team is their terrible defense. In terms of the number of expected goals conceded (xga = 1.65), it ranks in the top four of the Premier League. In addition to low motivation to show their maximum, Fulham will be held back by the personnel component. The meeting will be attended by such key players as Tim Rome or Andreas Pereira.
Leicester City are teetering on the edge of the relegation zone, moving up 2 places only thanks to better goal difference. After losing to direct rivals – “Bournemouth” (0: 1) in the 30th round, the coach – Brendan Rodgers was fired. Dean Smith came to the club’s rescue from relegation, and so far he has performed his duties brilliantly. Under his leadership, the Foxes played 4 rounds and in each of them they turned out to be stronger than the opponent in terms of the number of expected goals scored (xg). Even in the lost match against Manchester City (1:3) they were stronger in this component (2.3:1.6).
Leicester significantly increased their aggression in front of goal, but this led to problems in defence. Expect a clear match on a collision course with no midfield.
