I'm not sure what to make of Fulham this season.
They seem to put in a hell of a lot of work, but
dont seem to be getting the results. They were
humiliated at Old Trafford on the opening day,
losing 5-1, while they were lucky to draw 1-1 with
Bolton, scoring a penalty in the final few minutes.
Sheffield Utd came back to earth with a bump after
their good 1-1 draw with Liverpool. They lost 2-0 on
Wednesday night away to Spurs, and in all honesty
could have lost by alot more. This is a tough game
to predict betting wise. Home form is going to be
very important for both sides this season, and I'm
sure Fulham boss Chris Coleman will have pointed out
this game as a must win. Similarly, Blades boss Neil
Warnock will feel Fulham are a side where they can
grab a point or two. For this game however, I'm
going for home win, simply because Fulham boss Chris
Coleman will know the importance of taking three
points from this game. Its going to be a tough
season for the Cottagers, and games like these are
very important, against the lower sides. They have a
pretty good strike force, with Collins John, Brian
BcBride, Boa Morte, and Helguson, and
these should provide enough options to cause
Sheffield alot of problems. Even though they could
only draw 1-1 with Bolton on Wednesday night, Fulham
did show good character and battling qualities,
which is why I think they will grind out a narrow
win here today. Go for the Fulham home win @10/11
