Fulham vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Devesh Jaganath | in FA Cup Predictions
The Premier League’s surprise package of the season, Fulham, will welcome the Championship’s Sunderland to Craven Cottage on Saturday evening for a fourth-round clash in the FA Cup. The hosts have defied the odds so far this season and have surged up to 7th in Premier League ahead of the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea. Fulham has recorded 31 points already this season in 21 matches, level with Brighton in sixth place, and just five points behind Spurs in the Europa League qualification spot. Their good form has hit a couple of stumbling blocks in recent weeks, losing back-to-back games against Newcastle and Spurs; however, they were by no means outplayed in either match, losing just 1-0 in both. After seeing off Hull City in their last round, Fulham will be full of confidence to overcome another lower-league opposition and advance to the fifth round for the first time since the 2016/17 season.
Sunderland is right in the thick of it in the Championship, where you could throw a blanket over the sides in 3rd to 11th, which are separated by just three points. Sunderland is wedged in 9th place, with 41 points, just one point behind the top four teams. They put on a good showing in their last match and came away with a solid 2-0 win over Middleborough, and their recent form has also been fairly good, with three wins, one draw, and a loss in their last five matches. Sunderland made hard work of their last match in the FA Cup after staring defeat in the face at the hands of lower-league Shrewsbury Town; however, they managed to rally late on and eventually came away with a win in heart-stopping fashion. They will need to show the same fighting spirit if they want to advance to the fifth round.

Our Fulham vs Sunderland Prediction
Sunderland has been doing well in the Championship this season but comes up against a different type of opponent in Fulham. The Premier League side has already shown that they can trade blows with even the biggest sides in the league this season and were scoring relatively freely up to their last two matches. We fancy them to get back to winning ways in this one. Our Fulham v Sunderland prediction is a win for the home side.
