Tottenham Hotspur face mounting pressure to end their poor home run as they host a resurgent Fulham side in a crucial Premier League fixture on Saturday evening.
According to a report from FotMob, Saturday’s home match against Fulham carries “greater importance” for Tottenham Hotspur, as “storm clouds” are starting to form over The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following a difficult spell in November.
Spurs have not secured a league victory since October 26 and have not won a home Premier League match since the opening weekend of the season.
This run, combined with a recent 5-3 defeat in Paris and elimination from the Carabao Cup, has created a “familiar feeling of panic” around the club.
Conversely, Fulham has eased its own relegation concerns, with “Three wins in their last four in all competitions.” However, they will be without injured players Rodrigo Muniz and Antonee Robinson.
Tottenham’s recent head-to-head record against their West London opponents has also been poor, failing to win any of their last three games.
Last season’s Premier League meetings ended in a 1-1 draw at home and a 2-0 Fulham win away.
The preview concluded by stressing the importance of a fast start for Spurs, predicting a 2-1 home win while noting the difficulty of making that prediction “with much confidence at the moment.”
Thomas Frank’s side will be boosted by the return of Brennan Johnson, who was suspended for the PSG game.
