FOOTBALL BETTING: Rock bottom Portsmouth have managed just 5 goals in 11 away games this season. Chris Hutcheon doesn’t expect much improvement when they travel to Fulham tonight
The hosts are 8/11 at Paddy Power to get the better of hapless Pompey, who are 9/2 with Jaxx.com to manage what would only be their second away win of the campaign and the fact that Avram Grant’s men struggle to score on their travels suggests that the Cottagers can combine a victory with a clean sheet (8/5, Partybets).
Roy Hodgson’s troops grabbed the only goal when the pair met at Fratton Park but they can win with a little more to spare perhaps, this time around.
A strong case then, can be made for a 2-0 triumph, priced by bet365 at 13/2 while 888Sport’s 2/1 for the Cottagers to succeed by at least two clear goals, also appeals.
Elsewhere, Totesport chalk 20/21 against the first goal arriving after the 28-minute mark, Fulham look a banker at 1/2 (William Hill) to break the deadlock and that opening goal is a generous 7/1 with Stan James to be struck by David Elm.
