A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Fulham goes into this match with West Bromwich Albion having not lost to the visitors in their last 13 home league games against them.
Martin Jol's side made a fantastic start to the campaign, thrashing Norwich 5-0 in the opening game at Craven Cottage. However, the Cottagers have since slipped to three defeats on the road, going down 3-2 at Manchester United and 3-0 at West Ham, with a 1-0 Capital One Cup loss at Sheffield Wednesday sandwiched in between that.
However now on home ground, Jol will be looking to get maximum points against West Brom who he played for between 1982 and 1984, making 67 appearances.
Nevertheless it will not be easy as WBA are the form team and have enjoyed a dream start to the campaign under new boss Steve Clarke to sit third in the standings.
The Baggies have posted home victories over Merseyside outfits Liverpool and Everton and earned a creditable 1-1 draw at Spurs which means they are unbeaten on their last four travels to date. Clarke's side also managed to win 4-2 at Yeovil in the Capital One Cup.
