Competition: Championship

Market: Fulham to score over 1.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Two sides who already find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Championship table, Fulham will make the trip to Blackpool on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Blackpool might have made their Championship return earlier in the year, it has been a nightmare start to the 2021/22 campaign. In their opening five second-tier matchups so far this season, they are yet to pick up a single victory, with two draws against three defeats, scoring just four and conceding eight in return. Managing to muster themselves just a points tally of two out of a possible 15 when returning from the international break this weekend, the Oranges are also enduring a five-match winless run across all formats, a run that has seen them suffering four defeats. Last seen getting hit with a 2-1 defeat away at Millwall when drawing a close to August, it should be noted that Blackpool have lost each of their last three home fixtures on the bounce, shipping six goals.

As for the visitors, while Fulham might have lost their Premier League status earlier in the year, they have continued on what has been a real romp on their Championship return. In their opening five second-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded four wins against a single draw, scoring 13 and conceding just three in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 13 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat at the top of the Championship table, it should also be noted that the Whites hold the best-attacking tally in the division when returning from September’s international break. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a thumping 3-0 win at home against Stoke City, Fulham have won each of their last five matchups across all formats. Given the huge recent gulf in class, it is hard to see anything other than a routine afternoon for the Londoners.
