Fulham odds on to beat Wolves
last updated Thursday 16th October 2003, 3:40 PM
| MATCH BETTING ODDS - FULHAM v WOLVERHAMPTON |
Fulham are at home again on Saturday and are odds on favourites to win, again, this time against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Cottagers are in 5th place in the Premiership with only one defeat in their first seven games and also have a game in hand. At home this season they are undefeated with two wins and a draw which was obtained by Man City with a last minute goal. Last season, despite off field problems, Fulham lost just 5 games at home as they did in their first year in the Premiership. It is easy to understand why teams approach Fulham's temporary home with some concern.
Wolves have started their first season in the Premiership with one win, two draws and five defeats in eight games. However they may now be finding their feet as they have had an away draw and a home win in their last two games.

This match might have looked a fairly even contest before the season began but whilst Wolves have made a predictably poor start, Fulham have flown out of the blocks and the Bookies are all agreed on a Fulham home victory
and offer odds on prices.
Chris Coleman's side are as short as 1/2 to rack up another three points, with Wolves at 5/1, on Betfair they are 13/19 and 27/5.
As these prices look accurate enough it's hard to consider a bet on the match result.
A pair of Louis Saha penalties gave Fulham a 2-0 win the last time the two sides met in April 2001 and the French striker may be the most likely man to get on the scoresheet again. With Fulham so short in the betting, a 9/2 punt on Saha to score the opener may be the best way to find a decent profit in this one.
