Watford v Fulham

The first of our April 2 & 3 Premier League betting tips is for Watford v Fulham. Watford entertain relegation-threatened Fulham on Tuesday evening as they look to push the Londoners’ heads further below water, sending them plummeting to the Championship. The locals are winless in two and have lost three and won one of their last four, a poor run of form that has pulled them down to 10^th in the table. They don’t have an awful lot left to play for this season but will want to finish as high up the ladder as possible and grab a better share of the prize money. Seventh is the best they can hope for between now and the flag, but three points could put them there, moving ahead of Wolves.

The Wasps were beaten 3-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad last month before leaving Old Trafford after ending on the wrong side of a 2-1 result in their final game of March. A tough run of fixtures, but they had more to cheer about when securing their place in the next round of the FA Cup thanks to a 2-1 home win over Crystal Palace. Capoue broke the deadlock that day on 27 minutes, before Gray added what proved to be a winner on 79. That was enough to send them through, despite Batshuayi responding on 62 to force a nervy finish. A home win is 8/11 at Ladbrokes and that will do a job in your midweek accumulators.

Time is Running Out

Fulham fans know time is running out in their quest to save a place in the Premier League for next season and the majority have accepted their fate, resigned to the fact they will be visiting Championship stadiums again on a regular basis from summer. The Cottagers travel across the city for this tie with a record showing four wins, five draws and 23 defeats with the 17 points on the board leaving them down in 19^th, 16 points off Burnley and safety. They are on a losing run and finishing bottom is looking more likely than closing the gap on 17^th at last check.

The visitors suffered yet another defeat on Saturday afternoon when going down at the hands of Manchester City, losing that home match by a 2-0 score. Bernardo Silva got the ball moving with a goal on five minutes and that opened the floodgates. Aguero hit a second on 27 and by the half-time break it was obvious there would be no upset. The only real surprise of the match was that City didn’t score more goals in the second-half, as they completely dominated the fixture. It’s difficult to make a case for Fulham winning this one and bookmakers agree, offering 4/1 (Ladbrokes) to anyone that disagrees with their thinking.
