A set of numbers from Fulham's last 30 matches might make many people stop reading: 36% of the goals they scored came in the 76-90 minute period, which is nearly double any other period. And this is the team that just lost at home to Chelsea 2-3 in the Premier League on 24 Aug, but then went away and beat AFC Wimbledon 3-0 in the Carabao Cup on 27 Aug. Meanwhile, Sunderland just lost to Ipswich Town 2-1 in the Premier League on 22 Aug, despite having more possession. The opening price made Sunderland a slight favorite at 0.25, but the line hasn't moved, indicating the market isn't confident in the home side. So this match is likely to be close and end with a narrow scoreline, with Fulham having a chance to score late in the game, a period where Sunderland concede 16% of their goals in the 76-90 minute range.
