A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Both sides goes into this match in good spirits after the Cottagers reached their first-ever European final with Thursday's 2-1 victory over Hamburg, while Gianfranco Zola's side are now safe for another season in the Premiership.

Fulham reached the Europa League final in fine style defeating the likes of Juventus as well as Hamburg along the way. For the Hammers, Zola will want to get a win to prepare for next season.

But Roy Hodgson's side have not won domestically in three top-flight outings and the Fulham boss will be looking to get the win here. They are just one point behind Sunderland who are in 10th spot and have played a game less as well.

As for the team news, Hodgson recently made changed when they played Everton and he could do the same before their Europa final with Atletico Madrid.

The Cottagers are set to be without leading scorer Bobby Zamora after the striker passed a late fitness test on his Achilles injury but then limped out of the victory over Hamburg. He was replaced by Clint Dempsey in the 57th minute at Craven Cottage and the American could start this match.

John Pantsil returned to the side at right-back in Thursday's memorable victory for the suspended Chris Baird. However, Baird is available again and comes back into contention, as do Stefano Okaka and Nicky Shorey, who were both ineligible for selection on Thursday.

For West Ham, influential midfielder Scott Parker returned in last Saturday's 3-2 victory over Wigan following a two-match suspension and scored the all-important winner which kept them up. Junior Stanislas is hoping to join him in midfield after a top performance in the reserves' victory over Fulham considering safety is now assured.

Fellow midfielders Kieron Dyer (hamstring) and Jack Collison (knee) and defenders Herita Ilunga (knee) and James Tomkins (ankle) missed the Wigan clash and are out of this clash once again.

Take Fulham to win this match.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
