Tottenham Hotspur continues their hunt for a top-four finish as they make the trip to Craven Cottage to face mid-table Fulham in Saturday's Premier League action.
Fulham vs Tottenham Betting Tips: Spurs to Win
After producing a stunning 2-1 triumph at the "Theatre of Dreams" and breezing past Brighton Hove & Albion in a 3-0 hammering, Fulham missed the opportunity to string together three Premier League wins on the trot for the first time this term, succumbing to a 1-2 defeat against Wolverhamton Wanderers at Molineux last time out.
Gaining a reputation as one of the trickiest hosts in this year's England's top-flight edition, having ammased 25 of their 33 points and claimed eight of their ten league victories this campaign at this venue, the Cottagers will seek to cause an upset, but their hope is hampered by an unfavorable historical H2H record agaisnt weekend foes.
Saturday's visit from Tottenham won't spark joy among the Craven Cottage faithful, as they painfully overseen their beloved side slump to defeat in seven straight Premier League encounters on their turf, yet a glimmer of confidence for the hosts stems from the fact that they ousted Spurs via penalties earlier this season in the EFL Cup second round.
The troops under Ange Postecoglu's command orchestrated a masterful performance last weekend, mercilessly sinking Aston Villa at Villa Park in a devastating 4-0 triumph, allowing them to close the gap between them and their Birmingham rivals to just two points in the race for Champions League qualification next campaign.
The Spurs, with an extra match waiting in the wings and just two points shy of the Villans in fourth, realize they wield the power to shape their top-four aspirations, and as the weekend approaches, they will ponder seizing the final UCL spot, buoyed by their dominant track record against Fulham, triumphing in all but one of their last nine Premier League clashes.
Following their rampant four-goal display against Aston Villa just a week ago, Tottenham has notched up an admirable total of 59 goals, marking their highest scoring output at this stage since the distant 1964-65 campaign, a resounding signal that Postecoglu has honed the Spurs' attacking edge to perfection, highlighted by their unique status as the solitary side in the Premier League to breach the opponent's net in each and every league outing from the season's onset.
Despite Marco Silva's squad providing a tough nut to crack at their home fortress this season, suffering just five losses in 14 home fixtures, Tottenham will bank on their rich tradition, unwavering confidence, and burning hunger to claim the final Champions League ticket, a potent blend that should drive them towards an eighth straight triumph at Craven Cottage.

Fulham team news
Not seen since January 30 when he picked up a hamstring injury in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Everton, Raul Jimenez should be available for selection in Saturday's Premier League action but is expected to start the Tottenham clash from the bench.
With the Mexican striker back from injury, Fulham boss Marco Silva has no additional injury headaches to deal with ahead of their upcoming clash, while the pivotal cog in the team, Joao Palhinha, is ready to resume his duties in the midfield after serving a one-match ban.

Despite Spurs crushing Aston Villa 4-0 last time out, their joy was somewhat dampened by an injury blow, as 22-year-old defensive stalwart Micky van de Ven was substituted just four minutes into the second half due to a knee problem.
The Dutch center-back has joined Richarlison in the treatment room, with both expected to be available for manager Ange Postecoglou only after the international break, meaning winter signing Radu Dragusin will step into the back four in van de Ven's absence.
