Betting Tip: Draw

It’s a huge game at the Cottage on Friday night between the top two in the Championship as Fulham host Bournemouth. The pair have opened up a gap to 3rd placed QPR and there’s just a point separating the two. It’s no surprise that these two are among the front runners with the squad depth available to them but they’ve both shown different ways to win games, especially Bournemouth.

Interestingly the Cherries have seen over 2.5 goals in all 10 of their home games this season but when they’re away from home they’ve seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of 10. On the road they’ve kept a very impressive 7 clean sheets so far this season and fair play to former Fulham boss Scott Parker for showcasing a week-to-week adaptability that many sides struggle to produce.

They’ll be up against an excellent home side in Fulham though. The team on the Thames have lost just once at Craven Cottage and have won 5 of their last 6 at base. That being said, Marco Silva has seen his side have to settle for draws in their last two games against Preston and Derby, games they were expected to win.

I think neither side will want to lose here and given the early buffer the duo have to 3rd place a share of the spoils may not be the worst result in the world for either side. The draw is priced attractively at 11/4 and looks a nice play.

Betting Tip: Aleksander Mitrovic and Dominic Solanke to have 2+ shots on target each

It would be remiss to not mention the star strikers on both sides in Aleksander Mitrovic and Dom Solanke. The pair have smashed in 36 goals between them already this campaign and both are topping the shots and shots on target standings. Betfair and Paddy Power have boosted the pair to have 2 or more shots on target each to a juicy 15/2 and that also has to be worth a small interest.
