Fulham vs Middlesbrough prediction

Fulham come into this one on the back of a 2-1 defeat of Chelsea in a west London derby at Craven Cottage in midweek, courtesy of a late Harry Wilson winner. That victory for Marco Silva’s side has extended their unbeaten run of form in the Premier League to six matches.

Kim Hellberg and his Middlesbrough side head into this one on the back of an impressive 4-0 hammering of Southampton last week. The Smoggies sit tucked inside the top two and the automatic promotion spots in the Championship, with that big win ending what was a four-match winless run of form.

‘Boro could possibly end up rotating even more than their Premier League opposition here as Fulham have less to keep focused on so a home win is to be expected here.

Fulham vs Middlesbrough tip: Fulham to win
