Why Fulham/Manchester City promises to provide goals
Fulham/Man City, 12.45 Sat, Sky Sports 1, Best Odds, Free Bets
While there have been a lot of games recently that have left us scratching our heads wondering why they have been chosen for television, this match is worth giving a chance. Last season the two sides drew 3-3 at Craven Cottage and in the return tie Fulham scored three times in the last 21 minutes to overcome a 2-0 deficit and start their “Great Escape”. Encouragingly, there has been more goals in this fixture with every passing year:
There were two goals scored in this fixture in 2004-05, three in 2005-06, four in 2006-07 then six last season. The same pattern has been true in the encounters at the City of Manchester, with the number of goals increasing from two to three to four to five. The bookmakers are clued up to this trend however and the best price on over 3.5 goals is 13/5 with Bet365 while Paddy Power offer 6/1 on over 4.5.
