Fulham v Leicester City: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Fulham go in search of their first Premier League points of the season when they welcome Leicester City to Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.

Fulham v Leicester City betting tips and predictions

Fulham to win - 4/5

Fulham were unlucky not to get anything from their opening match of the campaign at Manchester United, eventually succumbing to an 87th-minute winner from debutant Joshua Zirkzee.

The Cottagers registered 10 shots at Old Trafford, two of those on target, and a more clinical performance could have seen Marco Silva's side walking away from the Theatre of Dreams with all three points.

As it is, Fulham are yet to get off the mark this term but they will be hoping to change in Saturday's visit of Leicester, who managed to claim a share of the spoils at the King Power Stadium on Monday.

The Foxes were second best in the first half and were lucky to just be one behind at the break, with Spurs guilty of passing up several opportunities.

Former England international Jamie Vardy managed to level the scores in the second period before then being denied when played through by a great save from Guglielmo Vicario.

The 37-year-old is still relied upon so heavily by Leicester but his fitness is not what it used to be and he won't be able to keep leading the line, which is a big worry given the striking selection issues manager Steve Cooper has.

Leicester struggled away from home in the Championship last season, winning just one of their last five matches, while they have tasted success just once from their last seven trips to Craven Cottage.

There was enough from Fulham's opening-day defeat to United to suggest they can pick up the points and the extra support from the home crowd can help them achieve this.

Emile Smith Rowe over 0.5 assists - 9/2

Fulham are reportedly close to adding a couple of additions to their squad, with Sander Berge and Joachim Andersen set to join, but one player that has already made the move to Craven Cottage is Emile Smith Rowe.

The Cottagers were screaming out for some creativity in their side and the 24-year-old's arrival from Arsenal should add both goals and assists to the team.

Smith Rowe failed to make a notable impact at Old Trafford, but he should be afforded more space on his home debut and registering at least one assist is a solid play.

Over 10 corners - 10/11

Fulham racked up the corners in defeat to the Red Devils, taking eight compared to United's seven, and the extra possession they will likely have at home on Saturday should see them chalk up another decent amount of corners.

Despite being at home on Monday, Leicester found themselves under huge pressure and they lost the corner count against Spurs by a massive 13-2.

Another game full of corners could be on the cards at Craven Cottage.
