Earmarked as potentially one of the games of the season at the beginning of the campaign, a heavy-weight clash between two of last season’s relegated Premier League sides is the perfect way to kick Saturday morning off.
Aleksandar Mitrović has netted 15 times for Fulham in just 14 matches, whilst only their opponents on Saturday have scored more goals than West Bromwich Albion.
A result is too close to call in this top-of-the-table clash, so that’s why we’re backing both teams to score at 8/13.
With second playing third earlier in the day, Bournemouth will travel to face Reading in the knowledge at least one, if not both of their title rivals will drop points.
Bournemouth currently lead the way in the Championship and will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign regardless of the result at Craven Cottage.
Having won 10 of their 14 games this season, a return to the Premier League looks to be on the cards and they’re good money at 5/1 to score three goals and beat Reading.
Having played just under a third of the season, Coventry City will believe they hold an outside chance of reaching the playoffs, as they currently sit fourth having won seven games and losing only four so far.
Whilst it may be their unbeaten home record that has earned them most of the plaudits up to now, a relegation-threatened Hull City side should prove easy enough to navigate.
Partial to a goal being conceded at the other end too, we’re going for over 2.5 goals at EVS, with Coventry to get the most of them.
It’s been a strange start to life as Swansea City manager for Russell Martin since arriving from Milton Keynes Dons, with his new side languishing in the division’s bottom half.
An astonishing 3-0 win over rivals Cardiff City two weeks ago was backed up by a shock win over West Brom, before falling victim to a mediocre Birmingham City side last weekend.
However, the visit of strugglers Peterborough United could provide a perfect launch-pad for them to reignite their campaign, so we’re backing Joel Piroe to add to his seven goals for the season at 6/5.
Rapidly approaching a year since the last time Bristol City won a home match, the Robins will be hoping the visit of similarly out-of-sorts Barnsley will be the chance for them to get it.
Last taking three points during a match at Ashton Gate in January, Lyle Taylor’s added-time double denied Bristol City last time out at home.
Is Saturday the day their wretched home form ends? We think so and odds of 3/1 for Bristol City to win and over 2.5 goals in the match suggest you should too.
