Match overview and context
Tottenham Hotspur welcome Fulham to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 29 November in a Premier League clash that promises intensity and goals. Spurs arrive bruised after a roller-coaster week: a 5-3 defeat to Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday laid bare defensive vulnerabilities but also underlined Tottenham’s attacking potency — Randal Kolo Muani’s showing in that game was a reminder that Spurs can be punished when space appears. Domestically Mauricio’s side sit ninth with 18 points from 12 matches, a mixed ledger of five wins, three draws and four defeats that has produced 20 goals but has also left questions at the back.
Fulham travel to north London chasing consistency. Marco Silva’s men are 15th with 14 points and arrive buoyed by a gritty 1-0 win over Sunderland last time out, a performance in which Sander Berge stood out and helped secure a narrow victory. Fulham’s formline is erratic but contains sparks: five wins and five losses in the last ten across competitions, and the underlying numbers show they can both create and concede — their total of 145 shots and 44 on target suggests a side not afraid to press forward.
How the numbers shape the picture
The statistical duel nudges the market in Tottenham’s favor. Bookmakers give Spurs the edge with a home win priced around 2.18, while the draw and Fulham win sit in the 3.30–3.35 bracket. Spurs have been productive in attack — eight of their matches have gone over 2.5 goals, and their goals-for tally (20) outpaces Fulham (13). Fulham, meanwhile, generate more overall shots and show slightly higher averages for dangerous attacks, hinting that they can produce chances even away from Craven Cottage.
Recent head-to-head history adds spice: the last Premier League meeting in March ended 2-0 to Fulham, so Tottenham will be eager to set the ledger straight on home turf. The venue — a 62,850-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — and the appointment of Stuart Attwell as referee inject further variables, but the clearest trend is toward open football.
Tactical expectations and keys to the game
Expect Tottenham to push for control and create high-quality chances, but also expect Fulham to counter with direct intent and a willingness to test Spurs’ reorganised backline. Tottenham’s tendency to be involved in high-scoring affairs and Fulham’s propensity to both create and concede suggest a game where goals are likely at both ends.
Betting suggestion
Given the recent results, shot volumes and goal-frequency indicators for both sides, the strongest single-market pick from the available data is Over 2.5 goals. Tottenham’s matches have frequently produced three or more goals and Fulham’s attacking output paired with defensive frailties makes this a compelling goals market to target.
