Cottagers to land narrow win over battling Rovers

Championship Betting

Fulham v Blackburn Betting Preview – Championship 14th March 7.45pm

An important game for the Cottagers on Tuesday night in the Championship. They will want to keep their great run of form going in this one because a victory would see them climb up into the top six, therefore the play off spots, at the expense of Sheffield Wednesday. So a huge incentive for Fulham at Craven Cottage in the midweek action. Blackburn are still fighting for their Championship life, but they have managed to put together a five match unbeaten streak of form and a precious point for them would see them climb out of the relegation zone. Pressure is on for both of these.

Fulham v Blackburn Betting Tips

Fulham have been going so well lately and now they firmly have the top six in their sights. Fulham are on a seven match unbeaten streak of form in the Championship now and they excelled on the weekend in a tough game. They went to St James Park to face champions-elect Newcastle and the Cottagers rolled out a 3-1 win to complete the league double over the Magpies this season. That is a W5 D2 record they have posted now in their last seven second-tier games and they are five unbeaten at Craven Cottage (W4 D1). Fulham have posted a W8 D6 L4 record this season on home soil but they are buzzing at the moment. The Cottagers have netted at least two goals in six of their last seven games and four of those games in that sequence they scored exactly three goals in. They landed a 1-0 win at Blackburn earlier in the season and a Fulham 1-0 correct score at Coral in this one is trading at a price of 15/2

Fulham landed a 2-1 home win over Blackburn in last season’s’ Championship match up too and they have kept only one clean sheet in their last ten against Rovers now. So it could be worth a punt on both teams to score at Coral for a price of 4/6. A Fulham 2-1 correct score is a 7/1 option which may have appeal because of that. In the anytime goalscorer market, Chris Martin is a 6/5 outright favourite to net in the game. 67% of Fulham’s home games this season have gone over the 2.5 goal line so you have a price of 3/5 at Coral on over 2.5 goals. So a big incentive here for Fulham, who can see their great run of form rewarded with a place in the play off zone if they collect three points in this one. They are 23 points better off than they were at this stage of last season’s Championship campaign.

But Blackburn are showing some resilient form at the moment with a five match unbeaten streak. They have suffered just the one defeat in their last eight in the Championship now and just a point out of this trip to London will see them climb out of the drop zone. However, they are failed to win any of their last eight away games in the second tier, but have drawn three of their last four on the road (L1). Blackburn have recorded a W1 D1 L2 record in their last four visits to Craven Cottage in the league. They will need all their resilience in this one against the in-form Cottagers. 13 of Blackburn’s 16 defeats in the league this season have been by a one goal margin only and a a Fulham to win by a one goal margin at Coral is trading at a price of 11/4. Danny Graham is a 12/5 anytime goalscorer option with Sam Gallagher at the 2/1 mark for the visitors.

Fulham v Blackburn Predictions

This will probably end up being a pretty tight contest then but it is hard to ignore the form that Fulham are showing at the moment especially on home soil. They are valued to go and win this by a one goal margin against a Rovers side who are in resilient form at the moment. Well worth a punt on both teams to score as well.
