Predicting the score for the Fulham - Manchester City match: The winning habit.

(NLĐO) - Manchester City arrived in London confident of securing all three points against Fulham, an opponent they had beaten 18 consecutive times across all competitions.

Erling Haaland dribbles past a Fulham defender in last season's 3-2 win.

After surprisingly winning 2-1 away at Tottenham, manager Marco Silva boldly declared that Fulham would shock Manchester City at home. In fact, Fulham are in good form at Craven Cottage, winning 4 of their last 5 matches, losing only to Arsenal.

But commentators believe manager Marco Silva is being somewhat delusional in believing that Fulham 'will turn the tide of the match against Manchester City'. The clash between Fulham and Manchester City will take place at 2:30 AM on December 3rd.

Fulham have lost 18 consecutive matches against Manchester City across all competitions since their 2-2 draw in September 2011. In the Premier League alone, they have lost 15 consecutive times to Manchester City – their longest losing streak against any opponent in their history.

The last time Fulham beat Manchester City was 3-1 under Roy Hodgson in April 2009. Marco Silva explained his ambition to win three points: "Every time you go out there, you always aim for a win, and that's our goal, even though Manchester City is a big challenge we face."

For Manchester City, Fulham is a tempting target, even though manager Pep Guardiola repeatedly stated it was 'very difficult' in press conferences. Pep seemed to have restrained his tactics in the 3-2 win against Leeds, preventing Erling Haaland from scoring, but now he must rely on the Norwegian striker, who has already scored 7 goals in 5 encounters with Fulham.

Pep could also rely on goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who has conceded 34 goals to Manchester City in 12 encounters (6 matches with Arsenal, and 6 matches with Fulham).

However, Manchester City's inconsistent form has led to a lack of consensus among experts. Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson predicts a 1-1 draw. Former striker Chris Sutton predicts a 0-2 win, former manager Harry Redknapp predicts a 1-2 victory, while former BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson opts for a 0-3 scoreline.

Prediction: Fulham - Manchester City 0-2

The initial odds for the match were Manchester City giving a half-goal handicap, with a payout of 82 for a win and a loss for a loss. This morning, the odds have edged up slightly to 8 for a win and a loss for a loss. Nevertheless, choosing Manchester City remains the safer option, as they know how and have a habit of beating Fulham.

The most favored score is 1-2 with odds of 8 to 1, while 0-1 and 0-2 both have odds of 8.3 to 1. Scores where Manchester City wins by a large margin are not highly rated, with 1-3 having odds of 12 and 0-3 reaching 13. A draw is also a viable option, with a 1-1 score having odds of only 8.3 to 1.
