Read on for our betting tips and predictions for this match.
Liverpool vs Fulham Stats & Facts
- Liverpool are scoreless in their last three Premier League contests against Fulham (D2 L1), their longest winless streak against Fulham in league competition since February 1966 to December 1967 (four games).
- Only two of Fulham’s 29 away league meetings against Liverpool have resulted in a victory (D7 L20). However, these victories have occurred in their last five excursions to Anfield, including a 1-0 victory in March 2021.
- From 1949 to 2018, Fulham’s away league record against Everton and Liverpool was 1 win, 11 draws, and 43 losses in 55 contests. The Cottagers have won their last three matches on Merseyside since then.

Liverpool vs Fulham Recent Form
Here are the five most recent matches in all competitions for both Liverpool and Fulham.
Liverpool Recent Form(WWWWD):
- 4-3 vs Tottenham – Premier League
- 2-1 vs West Ham – Premier League
- 3-2 vs Nottingham Forest – Premier League
- 6-1 vs Leeds – Premier League
- 2-2 vs Arsenal – Premier League
Liverpool looks to be in sharp form, winning four of their last five matches in the Premier League and drawing only one against Arsenal at Anfield. They’ve certainly got no shortage of goal-scoring ability four of their most recent matches ending in over 3.5 goals. Their result against Tottenham is highly surprising after Jurgen Klopp said that Harry Kane was “Unplayable” in a press interview. Considering Spurs’ thrashing against Newcastle (6-1) you wouldn’t expect them to bounce back and give Liverpool such a fight that was only killed off in the last minutes of stoppage time.
Fulham Recent Form(LLWWL):
- 2-1 vs Manchester City – Premier League
- 0-1 vs Aston Villa – Premier League
- 2-1 vs Leeds – Premier League
- 3-1 vs Everton – Premier League
- 0-1 vs West Ham – Premier League
Fulham is exactly where everyone expects them to be,winning against weaker clubs and losing against strong clubs. They’re exactly slap-bang average in the league and their results reflect that; they don’t seem to have any sort of “form” that will sway the tides when it comes to any match. No really stand-out players to speak of either except for Carlos Vinicius. I think they’re in for a reality check at Anfield on Wednesday.

BTTS Market
Looking at Liverpool’s most recent matches, both teams have scored in every single one, meanwhile Fulham has seen both teams score in three of their last five matches. However, Fulham has recently been playing really weak opponents, unlike Liverpool. I’m going to have to say that it’s likely that only Liverpool will score in this encounter.
BTTS: No
Over/Under Market
Liverpool has seen over 2.5 goals in five of their last five games, Fulham has a similar statistic with seven of their last nine games ending in over 2.5 goals. Both of these statistics go to show that over 2.5 is going to be a very reasonable bet for this match with over 3.5 being likely in my opinion; Liverpool need to be in the same state of mind as they had against Leeds in their 6-1 victory.
Over/Under Verdict: Over 2.5 Very Likely
