Fulham 3/5 to beat Blackburn in Saturday’s Championship showdown

Competition: Championship

Market: Fulham win

Odds: 3/5 @ 888sport

Two sides who find themselves firmly battling it out at the top of the Championship table, Fulham will host Blackburn on Saturday evening.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a huge run of form this year, Fulham find themselves cruising towards a Premier League return. In their 33 Championship matchups this season, they have recorded 21 wins, seven draws and five defeats, scoring 82 and conceding 29 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 70 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat holding a nine-point buffer at the top of the table, it should also be noted that Fulham hold the best-attacking tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 win away at Cardiff, Saturday’s hosts have won four of their last five Championship outings. Likewise, it should also be noted, the runaway leaders have lost just one of their previous six home fixtures across all formats.

As for the visitors, managing to pick up what was a much-needed victory last weekend, there is no doubt that Blackburn will be desperate to build off of that momentum. In their 34 Championship matchups so far this season, they have recorded 16 wins, nine draws and nine defeats, scoring 46 and conceding 34 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 57, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fourth in the table and four points adrift of breaking into the automatic promotion places. However, as for their recent run of results, despite being last seen landing a 1-0 win against QPR, that was the only victory that Blackburn have collected from their last six outings. Likewise, without a win from their previous five straight contests on the road, we’re backing a similar home win here.
