Before the start of the season Fulham looked like the main candidate for relegation and following the results of the first rounds, the farewell of the summer residents to the Premier League looked almost inevitable. However, at some point Scott Parker’s wards concentrated and played much better. In the last eight games in the Premier League the summer residents have lost by more than one goal only to Manchester City. Fulham scored six points in their previous five games, which allowed the team to break out of the relegation zone to 17th place. Fulham lost to West Ham (0:1), Everton (2:3) and Manchester City (0:2) in five previous Premier League games and won against West Bromwich (2:0) and Leicester (2:1). Fulham have lost four of their five Premier League games at home. Scott Parker’s charges lost to Arsenal and Aston Villa with a score of 0:3, to Crystal Palace with a score of 1:2, to Everton with a score of 2:3 and defeated West Bromwich (2:0). Fulham has no injuries. But the participation of Terence Kongolo and Kenny Tete is questionable.
The Romans are trying to wedge themselves into the struggle for the top 4, but it is noticeable that it is difficult for the team to compete on equal terms with Juventus, Inter or Milan. Paulo Fonseca’s team also plays in the Europa League, where they successfully finished the group stage and qualified for the playoffs. Roma took the first line in Group A and this should be given its due. As for the domestic championship, the Roman club is still in sixth place, because in recent matches it has slowed down a few turns. The Wolves were defeated by Napoli (0:4) and also drew with Sassuolo (0:0). The Yellow-Reds have a great chance to rehabilitate themselves, as Bologna is not an opponent to be afraid of. However, this is football and its result depends on various factors.
