Fulham vs. Man City Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Manchester City to Win
Leg 2: Both Teams to Score
While Manchester City is a heavy favorite, this Fulham vs. Manchester City pick offers better value than a straight moneyline play. City’s recent victory at Anfield was a massive boost for their title campaign, and their home form is nearly impeccable. Pep Guardiola's squad has secured 44 of a possible 51 points in its last 17 league games at the Etihad and is unbeaten in its last 11 there. With Erling Haaland, who has a stellar record of seven goals in seven games against Fulham, leading the line, City has the firepower to secure another three points.
However, a simple City moneyline bet lacks significant value. That’s where Fulham's offensive threat comes into play. The London club has failed to score in just four of its 25 Premier League matches this season, a record that puts them level with City and Liverpool. Furthermore, 67% of Fulham’s away games have seen both teams score, one of the highest rates in the league. Their defense remains a major concern: they have not recorded a shutout in seven games and own the worst defensive record among teams in the top half of the table. This combination of a capable attack and a vulnerable backline makes the Both Teams to Score component of this wager highly attractive, especially after the last meeting ended in a wild 5-4 City win.

Fulham vs. Man City Betting Analysis
The history between these clubs is incredibly one-sided. Manchester City has won its last 19 consecutive competitive matches against Fulham, a streak that dates back to 2011. During this dominant run, City has averaged an impressive 3.11 goals per game. Fulham's record at the Etihad is particularly bleak; they have lost their last eight league visits by a combined score of 25-4.
This season’s context adds another layer to the matchup. City is locked in a tight title race with Arsenal and cannot afford to drop points, especially at home against mid-table opposition. With a favorable schedule ahead that includes home matches against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, this is a must-win opportunity to build momentum. Fulham, meanwhile, still has an outside shot at European qualification but has seen its form dip recently, suffering consecutive losses. Their motivation will be high, but overcoming such a historically dominant opponent remains a monumental task.
The last meeting between these sides was an unforgettable 5-4 City victory, a match in which Fulham exposed some defensive frailties. While a nine-goal repeat is unlikely, it did highlight Fulham’s ability to trouble City’s back line. City should control possession this time, as they average nearly 60% of the ball in home league matches. The key question is whether Fulham’s attack can once again exploit any defensive lapses to get on the scoresheet, something recent evidence suggests is a strong possibility.
