Arsenal vs Fulham Predictions & Odds
- Arsenal (1) at 1/4
- Draw at 26/5
- Fulham (2) at 47/4
Correct Score Prediction
Arsenal have already gained maximum points this campaign and look likely to do the same this weekend. Outscoring on xG in their victories against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace and showing their defensive stability will help them on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Fulham have lost both xG battles by almost double in both of their opening fixtures, despite picking up three points. They lack a cutting edge up front with Alexander Mitrovic’s departure and are showing their issues defensively as well.
With Arsenal’s strength and strong summer additions, Fulham should be no match for them at the Emirates, with an Arsenal win the likely outcome and a clean sheet to match it.
🔹 Our correct score prediction is Arsenal 2-0 Fulham at 6/1 on BetKing. 🔹
1×2 Predictions
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have already shown this season that their ability to grind results out has improved.
Having won their opening two games by one-goal margins and being under sustained pressure at times in both, they’re showing a much stronger mentality already than they did towards the end of last season.
Meanwhile, for Marco Silva’s Fulham, they’re showing signs of defensive frailty.
An opening day 1-0 win at Everton didn’t quite show the full story with the home side having just shy of double Fulham’s xG (2.09 vs 1.05), with Everton’s wasteful finishing arguably the major factor in the result.
Those defensive issues continued at home to West London rivals Brentford last weekend, as the Bees came away with three goals and three points.
As well as that, Fulham have never beaten Arsenal away from home in the league, in the entire history of the two clubs, a record that spans over 100 years.
With Arsenal’s strength across the park and the early signs of Fulham’s defensive problems, the Gunners could be comfortable this weekend.

Draw no Bet Predictions
The draw no bet market means that if the sides draw, the stakes are returned. Arsenal in the draw no bet market are at 1/20. There’s no value there so why not just go for Fulham in the DNB at 87/10?
BTTS Predictions
Arsenal have already looked threatening in attack, but have had big chances go begging. With an xG of 1.40 in their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Monday, they will look to Eddie Nketiah to be more clinical in this game to stop that from happening again.
Fulham however, haven’t had that luxury. Their issues at the back have been made clear, but they lack cutting edge at the top end of the pitch.
Raul Jimenez’s arrival from Wolves only adds more concern, as the Mexican failed to score a Premier League goal last season.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will be keen to make it back-to-back clean sheets and with Fulham’s forward worries, NG looks likely at the Emirates and is at 79/100 on BetKing.
Our Analysis of the Arsenal vs Fulham Match
Arsenal have taken six points from their opening two games, giving them a stable platform to build off of ahead of what will hopefully be for Gunners’ fans, another title push.
The big money moves of Declan Rice for £105million from West Ham and Kai Havertz for £60million from Chelsea are already earning their money, whilst Jurrien Timber’s arrival from Ajax will be put on ice as he recovers from an injury suffered on the opening day win against Nottingham Forest.
Arsenal will also be without Takehiro Tomiyasu, who was dismissed in their win over Crystal Palace on Monday. Star striker, Gabriel Jesus, is still out with a knee injury.
Fulham come into the game off of the back of a disastrous defeat at home to West London rivals Brentford. The humiliating 3-0 defeat at Craven Cottage saw Marco Silva’s side rack up just seven shots and an xG of 0.92.
Their opening day win at Goodison Park against Everton was hailed as lucky by some, with the Toffees notching 2.09 xG, without getting on the scoresheet.
Fulham go into the game with most of their options available, however, may struggle for goals since Alexander Mitrovic’s departure.
As for the head-to-head, Arsenal are unbeaten in their last ten league meetings Fulham, winning eight and drawing two. Fulham have never beaten Arsenal away from home in the league, in their history. The Gunners will be aiming to extend that record this weekend.
Top Scorers Predictions for Arsenal vs Fulham
With Gabriel Jesus still sidelined for Arsenal for a few more weeks, the Gunners continue to turn to Eddie Nketiah for goals. The forward got off the mark for the season on the opening day, but failed to score against Crystal Palace, despite hitting the post and missing a golden chance from just a few yards out.
He did however, win the penalty that ultimately was dispatched by captain, Martin Odegaard and won Arsenal the points just a few days ago.
Nketiah will be eager to keep his place in the side when Jesus returns from injury and the no.14 will also be keen to make up for Monday’s missed chances.
Nketiah also notched the Gunners’ first goal of the season and created their first chances in their last game, so he could potentially open the scoring this weekend. He’s at 27/20 to get one any time and 9/2 to open the scoring.
