Southampton - Fulham betting tips and odds

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Southampton on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against The Saints on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

The home side suffered a slim defeat last time in the Premier League. They played away from their home and returned with a one-goal deficit Nottingham Forest defeat. Having conceded early on they never got a chance to get back on their feet.

Fulham are coming off from a decisive home victory against Leicester City. At odds of 2.75 on a home win, few expected such a result – though The Cottagers already established dominance in the first half.

Southampton’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 8 goals throughout their latest three Premier League matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Fulham’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

The hosts are looking at relegation as we head into round 36, one of the last legs of this season’s Premier League. They’ll need to gather 4 points to steer clear, which is almost impossible at this point.

The bookies see the away team as more likely to win this game, partly based on an earlier match played between them and The Saints. Playing as the home tea, The Cottagers secured a solid victory and 3 more points for the tally. The conditions are somewhat less favourable this time, but they could still be able to come out on top.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
