Fulham – Liverpool prediction and free tip
Sunday afternoon sees Fulham and Liverpool face off, with the title still on the line for the Reds. Although Liverpool are a step behind Manchester City and Arsenal. If they can win all six games, they can still hope their rivals fail to make the step. The first step towards doing so is in London, where they are clear favourites with the bookmakers.
Team news
Let’s start our analysis with Liverpool, as they picked up a painful win on Thursday. A strange phrase, but very true. Despite winning 1-0, Liverpool were eliminated from the Europa League, leaving only the league.
An early 11th goal gave some hope, but Salah missed a great chance and the English side could not control the game in the second half.
And Liverpool have been looking poor in recent weeks, with a depleted squad and almost all of their best players out of form. With the Egyptian striker and Nunez also making a mistake, it’s not safe to play Fulham in Craven Cottage.
The home side have no serious challenge left for the season, and there is no question of staying in the table, but they cannot set too high an ambition for the second half. Fulham are a classic mid-table side, much more efficient at home and have already managed to upset several big teams.
The two teams have met three times already this season, as they also played each other in the League Cup semi-final, but none of the games were straightforward for the Reds. In fact, the league game was a real thriller as Fulham were leading in the 80th minute, but the home side finally managed to turn it around in stoppage time.
Free bet for Fulham vs Liverpool
There is no reason to trust Liverpool, as even though they are the only team left in the game, the away side could be tired and the strikers are so out of form that they could make it difficult for themselves again. The odds of 1.55 clearly look overdone for Liverpool, so we’ll go for a plus handicap on the Fulham side.
Fulham have already beaten Arsenal and Tottenham at home this season, and we’re expecting another 90 minutes where they won’t give their skins away cheaply at Craven Cottage. We’ll take the Londoners out of the offer at +1.5 handicap, which looking at the Reds’ positional play, looks like an absolutely playable bet.
