Fulham vs Sevilla Prediction and Betting Tips | August 5th 2024
Fulham and Sevilla return to action in pre-season when they square off at the Estádio Algarve in a friendly on Monday. The English Premier League side picked up a 1-0 victory over Benfica on Friday and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
A 21st-minute strike from Nigerian forward Alex Iwobi was enough to separate the sides as Fulham held on to secure a narrow victory over Portuguese powerhouse Benfica in their opening pre-season game at the Estádio Algarve.
Marco Silva’s side came into the off-season following a somewhat disappointing 2023-24 campaign as they finished 13th in the Premier League table with 47 points from 38 matches.
Fulham will follow Monday’s game with a clash against German outfit Hoffenheim on August 10, six days before visiting Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in a thrilling Premier League opener.
Sevilla, on the other hand, picked up consecutive friendly victories last time out when they picked up a 2-0 win over fellow Spanish outfit Granada.
Before that, Garcia Pimienta’s men kicked off their pre-season fixtures with back-to-back defeats against Orlando Pirates and Sporting Lisbon before claiming a 1-0 win over Saudi outfit Al Ittihad on July 26.
Sevilla will look to maintain this fine form and gather momentum ahead of the start of La Liga, where they will be looking to improve on last season’s forgettable 14th-placed finish.
