Fulham vs Manchester City: Premier League Prediction (25.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 25 at 22:00 WIB, at Craven Cottage in London, the local club Fulham will host Manchester City in the final match of the 38th round of the 2024–2025 English Premier League. The hosts currently sit in 10th place and can finish as high as 9th or as low as 12th, which ultimately doesn’t change much. The visitors have moved into 3rd place after the last round and now must defend that position from Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, each trailing by just two points.

Let’s make a prediction for Fulham vs Manchester City, considering the strong motivation on the visitors’ side, who are also the clear favorites according to bookmakers. A Fulham win is priced at 5.30, a draw at 4.44, and a Manchester City win at 1.63. Bookmakers expect a high-scoring game, with over 2.5 goals at 1.55 and both teams to score at 1.59.

Fulham

Marco Silva has maintained “The Whites” as a solid mid-table team in the English top flight for four years. It’s no surprise that more prominent clubs are eyeing him. However, a breakthrough season has once again eluded them, and Fulham will miss out on European competitions. One highlight has been veteran Mexican forward Raúl Jiménez, who has shown form with goals in each of the last two matches against Everton and Brentford.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola faced heavy criticism this season for underwhelming results. Still, City reached the FA Cup final and now have a strong chance to secure 3rd in the league. While it’s not their best year, it hasn’t been a complete failure. The club and fans are also bidding farewell to longtime icon Kevin De Bruyne. Everyone is eager to see what kind of new team the Spanish manager will build over the summer. But first comes one last push — winning on Sunday to lock down 3rd place and a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.

Head-to-Head Stats

Since 2022, the teams have met six times — all wins for Manchester City, with a total scoreline of 20:6. In the first round of this season, Man City defeated Fulham 3:2 at home.

Prediction

Given the high motivation of the visitors and the one-sided nature of recent meetings, we are backing Manchester City to win at 1.63.
