Stoke have failed to score in 3 of their last 5 and average just 0.4 goals per game recently. Fulham's defence has struggled, but Stoke's attack is very blunt. Value is limited at current odds.

Stoke's games are consistently low scoring; Fulham may control the match but Stoke's lack of threat limits the total. Odds are short and margin is slim.
Match Analysis
Fulham travel to Stoke as strong favourites in this FA Cup clash. Stoke are in poor form, winless in five and struggling badly for goals, averaging just 0.4 per game in that stretch. Fulham have lost three straight but all against Premier League opposition, and their underlying attacking stats remain far superior. Historically, Fulham have had the edge in this fixture and should have too much quality for a Stoke side lacking confidence and cutting edge. Expect Fulham to control possession and territory, with Stoke likely to sit deep and struggle to create chances.
Key Factors
