Tottenham
have been in impressive form this season under the guidance of their new coach,
Ange Postecoglou. They have maintained an unbeaten record, securing six wins
and two draws in the last eight league rounds, which is an outstanding
achievement. A notable factor in their success has been the addition of James
Maddison, who has made a significant impact on Tottenham’s midfield and front
line. Maddison’s presence has resulted in five assists, while Tottenham have
scored a total of 18 goals under his leadership. This showcases their strong
attacking prowess, averaging 2.25 goals per game. Additionally, Tottenham’s
captain, Son Heung-Min, has been in scintillating form, finding the back of the
net six times in the league thus far.

Fulham’s
performance in the new season has been relatively fine. After eight rounds of
the league, they have achieved three wins, two draws, and three losses. Fulham
primarily utilise a 4-3-3 formation. So far, they have scored eight goals while
conceding 13 in the league. While Fulham have shown good scoring ability, their
defensive system appears to be lacking in strictness, as an average of 1.5
goals conceded per game is somewhat high. It is worth noting that Fulham have
struggled to secure victories in their last three away games, indicating that
their away performance is not as strong as their home games. The upcoming match
against in-form Tottenham poses a challenge as Fulham will need to withstand
their fierce offensive.
Tottenham’s
overall strength is indeed considered superior to Fulham, both in terms of
offensive and defensive performance. Additionally, when looking at their
head-to-head record, Tottenham have had the upper hand in the past 10 meetings
between the two teams, securing eight wins and two draws without suffering a
defeat. Considering Tottenham’s current form and their advantage in the
historical match-up, it is highly likely that they will emerge victorious and
secure all three points in the upcoming game against Fulham.
