2011-12-17 - Fulham vs Bolton
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Fulham who are out of the Europa League can now concentrate fully on the Premiership as they welcome bottom side Bolton who have lost their last four games in the Premiership.
Bolton's latest defeat came at home last weekend came to Aston Villa when they were were beaten 2-1. Owen Coyle's have had a bad run in recent games having lost 17 of their last 20 league encounters, a streak which began with a 3-0 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Bolton cannot escape the drop zone this weekend even with a win at Fulham but could move out of bottom place and nearer to safety with the 3 points.
As for Fulham, they were beaten 2-0 against Swansea away from home and in midweek were bundled out of the Europa League when they could only managed a 2-2 draw against Odense.
With Martin Jol's men currently in 14th spot, Fulham will be keen to get back to winning ways and start climbing the table. Their position is not safe as they are just three points clear from the relegation spot after being beaten last weekend.
Fulham will be glad to know that they have a good record against Bolton coming into this match. This is because, they have won eight and lost none of their 10 Premier League games on their own soil against Bolton.
