Fulham's remarkable performance has seen them go unbeaten across their last seven matches in the Premier League, but visitors Ipswich Town are also riding the wave of a victory over Chelsea on Monday. 

Odds Now's Brad Walker has provided a comprehensive preview of the match at Craven Cottage ahead of kick-off on Sunday afternoon. 

Odds Now's Fulham vs Ipswich Town selection

Fulham will have been disappointed to concede a late equaliser in a 2-2 home draw with Bournemouth last time out, but Marco Silva's men have still more than impressed during the first half of the campaign. 

The West Londoners have not tasted defeat since the middle of November and find themselves in eighth position, just three points from fifth heading into the weekend. 

Kieran McKenna's Ipswich side are eyeing their own progression up the table though and come into the game having picked up their first home victory of the season last time out.

Goals from Liam Delap and Omari Hutchinson secured a shock 2-0 win over Chelsea at Portman Road, lifting the Tractor Boys to within a point of 17th. 

Ipswich have also won two of their last five on the road.

Fulham's defensive troubles on home turf

While the Cottagers' overall performance has been impressive this season, Fulham have sometimes struggled in defensive quarters on their own turf. 

They've averaged 1.5 goals conceded at Craven Cottage compared to only 1.11 on away soil, and have also picked up just one clean sheet in home fixtures. 

Fulham have also dropped points against teams further down the table in front of their own fans, notably drawing with Southampton and also losing heavily to Wolves. 

Such a record will be music to the ears of the aforementioned Ipswich forward Delap, who not only scored in the victory over Chelsea but also recorded four shots on target. 

The 21-year-old has already scored on seven occasions in the league and has been a shining light in a struggling Ipswich side this term. 

Yet, despite his impressive statistics, Delap still comes in at a wide 4/1 to have over 1.5 shots on target against a shaky Fulham defence. 

Given Fulham's unconvincing defensive performance, the price has more than enough juice to be a worthy punt for me.
