Fulham are heading into this match in poor form, having won just one of their last five games and losing three times. They've struggled to score goals lately and have been beaten heavily in two of those defeats. Sunderland, on the other hand, have been much more reliable, winning two games and drawing two in their last five outings, with only one loss. They've also looked dangerous going forward, scoring several goals in a couple of their recent wins.

When these two sides met last season, the matches were very tight and low-scoring, with just three goals across both games. Given Fulham's current slump and Sunderland's stronger recent run, this match looks likely to be close but favors the away side. Based on the recent facts, Sunderland should win this game.
