English Premier
2008-11-22 - Liverpool vs Fulham
A Sports Betting Pick by Gooner
Liverpool (2nd 10-2-1 21:8) W W L W W
Liverpool have bounced back from their loss at Spurs to win their next two games by multiple goal margins, and the Reds are playing with more composure now as strikers other than Torres are showin some form.
Liverpool have a home Champions League clash with Marseille coming up in midweek, and only need a point to progress, so although it's a small distraction we still should see a strong side fielded for this league game.
Liverpool can go top IF they have a better result than Chelsea do against Newcastle, but reading between the lines of Rafa Benitez's press talks, I think he's just aiming for a comfortable win.
Fulham (10th 5-2-5 21:11) D W L W W
Fulham have been climbing up the table, but nearly all the good work has been going on when playing at home at Craven Cottage, and the "road" record stands at 0-1-4 so far.
Fulham's away games have been pretty drab affairs with just 2 goals scored, and 6 conceded the overwhelming theme has been that the Cottagers are just not good enough when travelling, despite having a fairly tame schedule.
Head to Head
Liverpool have won this match on five of the least six occasions, including the last four in a row.
Last season Liverpool won it 2-0, with late goals from Torres and Gerrard clinching the points.
THE VERDICT
The Reds are very likely to win this game, but the prices of 1/4 (1.25) don't really seem much use to punters, unless you're trying to pad out an accumulator.
So it's worth checking out other markets, and you can get an even money bet on the there being UNDER 2.5 GOALS in this match, whioch seems a reasonable play to me.
