Fulham have enjoyed a very promising festive period, as the Cottagers head into Wednesday afternoon’s home game with Reading at Craven Cottage on an unbeaten run of three games in the Championship.
Last time out, Scott Parker’s team recorded a narrow 1-0 home win over Stoke City. The victory moved the Cottagers up to third place Championship table, but they are still nine points behind West Brom, who occupy the second automatic promotion spot.
The victory over the Potters last time out was the first time the Cottagers had kept a clean sheet in the Championship in their last seven outings.
The home side has a decent recent record at Craven Cottage in the Championship, having recorded victories in four of their last five league games on home soil. The Cottagers recent home games in the second tier have offered great value for money when it comes to goals, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight league matches on home soil.
Serbian international Aleksandar Mitrovic has been in good form this season, scoring 18 times in his 24 Premier League appearances, while finding the net twice in his last three appearances.
Reading head to the English capital on a good run of form. In fact, the Royals are five games unbeaten in the Championship, having recorded three straight wins in the second tier.
The visitors recorded a 2-0 win at Preston in their last league game, which means that the Royals have now kept four straight clean sheets. The recent good run of form has moved the visitors up to 14th place in the table.
Mark Bowen’s team have improved on their travels of late, as they are unbeaten in their last four away games in the Championship. The Royals recent away matches in the second tier have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games.
Forebet predicts that Fulham will record a victory to continue their recent decent run of form to end Reading’s recent run.
