Saturday 20th January 2018 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Fulham come into Saturday afternoon’s clash with lowly Burton Albion in confident mood as they hover on the fringes of the play-off pack following an encouraging resurgence in form which has seen The Cottagers lift themselves up into 8th place in the Championship.
Fulham are just one point adrift of sixth placed Sheffield United as the home side are finally starting to fulfil their potential under manager Slavisa Jokanovic as they’ve won four of their last five overall with wins gained over Barnsley, Cardiff City, Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough.
Fulham’s home record at Craven Cottage stands at 5-6-2 17/13 but this has seen a much needed improvement in recent times as Fulham have won four on the bounce ahead of today’s clash. Forward Kamara (6 goals) has been well supported by midfielders Johansen (5 goals), Norwood (5 goals ) and Ojo (4 goals).
Burton Albion continue to fight tooth and nail to climb out of the bottom three of the Championship, and credit goes to Nigel Clough and the players for putting up a brave fight on what is a shoe-string budget for the east midlands outfit.
Recent away wins at Reading and Sheffield Wednesday prove they’re no pushovers, but then they’ve let themselves down by suffering defeats to Leeds United and QPR at their Pirelli Stadium, so virtually anything could happen in London on Saturday afternoon!
The Brewers have won their last three matches on the road as they’ve also beaten relegation rivals Bolton Wanderers at the Macron Stadium within an overall away record of 4-4-5 9/16, but a lack of goals on their travels, including failing to score on seven occasions, could be their undoing against Fulham today.
