A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Fulham goes into this match looking for a top eight finish when they welcome Sunderland to Craven Cottage. The Cottagers enter this match in full confidence after beating Liverpool in midweek.

Fulham moved level on points with Liverpool after beating them and the West London side have taken 13 points from their last six games going into this match.

Sunderland on the other hand have gone six Premier League games without a win, their longest winless spell of the season. They have drawn five and lost one of those six games.

Meanwhile, Fulham boss Martin Jol is expected to return to the bench after missing the last two games at Everton and Liverpool with a chest infection. Jol has no fresh injury worries to worry about and is expected to keep faith with the side that came away with the three points. However, the likes of Bryan Ruiz, Andy Johnson, Steve Sidwell and Zdenek Grygera all misses out through injuries.

Meanwhile, Sunderland defender John O'Shea and striker Nicklas Bendtner are battling to be fit for this match. The duo picked up foot injuries in training this week, but manager Martin O'Neill is hopeful they will be fit in time for kickoff.

The good news for Sunderland is that O'Neill can call again on Craig Gardner after serving a one-match ban for his recent sending off at Aston Villa. However, Kieran Richardson and midfielder Sebastian Larsson have both been ruled out for the remainder of the season after undergoing hernia surgery.

Titus Bramble is back in training after an Achilles problem, but the game comes too soon for him to make a comeback.

Possible lineups

Fulham : Schwarzer, Kelly, Hangeland, Hughes, Riise, Duff, Murphy, Dembele, Frei, Dempsey, Pogrebnyak

Sunderland : Gordon, Bardsley, O'Shea, Kilgallon, Turner, McClean, Cattermole, Sessegnon, Colback, Campbell, Bendtner.

Predictions :

Go for Sunderland and accept the 3/4 ball for them not to lose this match.
