Key Stats

Fulham have scored 3+ goals in 4 of their last 6 home matches across all competitions.
Cambridge United have failed to score in 3 of their last 5 away matches.
This is the first competitive meeting between these two clubs since 1993.

I predict the correct score will be Fulham 4 – 0 Cambridge United. The gulf in divisions and overall quality should be starkly apparent in this fixture. Fulham, even with significant rotations to their starting XI, will have far too much technical ability, pace, and tactical organization for a Cambridge side struggling in League One. Expect Fulham to control the game from start to finish and score multiple goals against their lower-league opponents.
