FULHAM V BURNLEY

8pm The Premier League fixtures just keep on coming and we start another very busy week with Fulham v Burnley for Monday Night Football! This might not be the most glamorous Premier League fixture, but it is very interesting from a betting point of view with Fulham clear favourites on BETDAQ Betting Exchange. Fulham have to win, they are almost certain to go down, however Burnley are the only side they can catch. They start the game nine points behind Burnley however, and surely with the amount of games left Fulham are 1.01 to go down.

That being said, the club won’t have given up yet, especially as they meet their main target tonight and we should have a very interesting game ahead even if it isn’t the most high quality affair. Fulham have ran out of steam in recent weeks in their bid to stay up, however as I said when they were playing so well – it’s so difficult to make up all that ground, and then actually go past. It’s hard to keep the momentum for that long and you always tend to bump into the big sides too. Fulham got stopped in their tracks by Man City and now they have only managed one draw in their last six games.

Burnley have also finished the season pretty poorly, but they have bagged the odd win to keep themselves out of reach from Fulham. That 4-0 win over Wolves was a shock and came from nowhere, but Wolves have been pretty average this season. Burnley haven’t played too badly recently despite not getting many results. They created an xG of 2.24 against West Ham, 1.07 away to Man United, 2.34 against Newcastle when they were very unlucky to lose and 1.61 against Southampton Those figures are much more impressive than Fulham who haven’t been playing well lately and I can see Burnley sealing Fulham’s fate tonight.

The 2.28 on Fulham looks an excellent value lay – I feel that’s very much a “need to win” price and while I can understand why a lot of punters who be happy to take on Burnley, if you look at the underlining numbers they aren’t playing as bad as their results suggest. I would have the teams much closer together in the betting and I have to have a Max Bet lay on Fulham at the odds – 2.28 is way too short in my book. I believe this is my first Max Bet lay!

The Striker Says:
Five points lay (liability) Fulham to beat Burnley at 2.28 on BETDAQ Betting Exchange
