Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 81
Southampton wins: 30
Draws: 26
Fulham wins: 25
Southampton and Fulham have faced each other a total of 81 times across all competitions, and it is the Saints who marginally lead the overall head-to-head record having posted 30 wins to the Cottagers' 25, while there have also been 26 draws played out between the two clubs.
Their first eight meetings took place in the Southern League between 1903 and 1907, with Fulham posting a record of three wins, two draws and two defeats against Southampton.
The Cottagers and the Saints then regularly butted heads in the old Division Two - and briefly Division One - over a 66-year period, with Southampton winning 20 and Fulham winning 13 of their 46 encounters. Southampton's 4-0 home triumph in 1938 and 5-3 victory in 1952 (both in Division Two) represent their biggest-ever wins over Fulham.
Between 1998 and 1999, Fulham required two replays to get the better of Southampton in two domestic cup competitions, winning a second-round EFL Cup tie 1-0 a year before winning by the same scoreline to progress from the FA Cup third round. The only other three meetings were all won by the Saints (two FA Cup, one EFL Cup).
In the Premier League era (since 1992-93), Southampton and Fulham have played against each other 20 times in the top flight, with the Cottagers collecting 15 points from their first 10 meetings (W3 D6).
Southampton have since won four, drawn two and lost one of their last 10 PL encounters, most recently letting a one-goal lead slip to lose 2-1 at home in April 2025.
