Manchester City - Fulham predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Manchester City. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Fulham will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

The host’s latest Premier League performance was quite a letdown. An away draw may not sound too bad, but keep in mind that top bookmakers online priced their victory at 4.93. Moreover, they were leading by the time the first half was over, only dropping their advantage in the late game.

The Cottagers also played an away game last week and managed to snag a surprising 0:1 victory. Top online bookmakers saw this outcome as very unlikely, pricing it at 3.01. Despite all the disadvantages, though, the score remained inconclusive for most of the game, after which The Cottagers took an unexpected lead.

The Sky Blues are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

With their most recent track record in mind, Fulham tend to perform quite well offensively. Their previous 3 home games featured at least 5 goals in total.

The Citizens are currently 2nd in the standings. If they maintain the strong form they’ve displayed so far, they’ll be on their way to the coveted Champions League.

The visitors are at a clear disadvantage in a matchup like this, so moving up from their current table position doesn’t seem likely. They’re currently sitting at spot number 6th. On the bright side, most of the season is yet to be played, so they may realize their Europa ambitions yet.

This matchup was very one-sided last season, and most bookies are expecting The Sky Blues to continue their spree of dominance. They won against The Cottagers more than once, and even managed to record a solid goal difference in each instance.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Saturday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
