Fulham vs Southampton Prediction (08.03.2026)

After three consecutive victories, Fulham lost to West Ham in their last match and is in the middle of the Premier League standings. Now they are heading for the FA Cup against a new opponent from the lower tier – the English Championship. So far, Fulham has eliminated two teams from there. They defeated the Premier League contender Middlesbrough 3:1 at home and then won against Stoke City 2:1 away.

Southampton has climbed to seventh place in the Championship and seems to be in decent form. They have not lost in nine consecutive matches. They also won their last three away games in the league. So far in the FA Cup, they have faced weaker teams than Fulham, so this time a more serious challenge awaits them.

As in previous rounds of the tournament, I expect Fulham to handle another team from the Championship. Southampton seems to be in good form, but I think they will lose against the Premier League representative, although I do not rule out that they might score a goal.
