Their record in all competitions is somewhat better, courtesy of a recent 5-2 thrashing of Newcastle at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup.
Fulham have scored a total of 8 goals in their last five matches. Solid form up front has been undermined by poor form at the back with 11 goals hammered past the Cottagers in this time.
Stoke don’t look much better, with three consecutive defeats in the Premiership, following a draw against Liverpool, and broken by an FA Cup win over Derby.

Fulham vs. Stoke City Betting Tips
A weak Fulham defence meeting a weak Stoke City attack is what is on offer in this fixture. While goals have been scarce for Stoke, they could help themselves to one or two against Fulham, while Fulham can do the same.
Ultimately Fulham do look like the better option for this fixture. They certainly have the potential to play at a high level on their day, and Stoke’s dismal attack shouldn’t be too hard to neutralise.
