Fulham vs Spurs Betting Preview

Fulham take on Tottenham at Craven Cottage on Sunday looking to kick start their league campaign with a win over their London rivals. The Cottagers won this fixture 4-0 in the FA Cup back in January though, so Harry Redknapp will be looking to erase the bad memories of their last visit. Redknapp also missed the midweek visit to Russia due to minor heart surgery, so will he be back for the short trip across London?

Fulham vs Spurs match odds

Fulham

Fulham have had a slow start to their league campaign after they started their season back in June due to the large amount of Europa League qualifying games they had to play. This has undoubtedly had an effect on their league form and they are currently lying as low as 15th with just 10 points from the 10 games. However, they have got 6 of their points from home games, and have had a good home record in recent seasons. Despite this, they are still slight outsiders for Sunday’s game and are best priced at 3.4 with Betfred. Apart from the 6-0 demolition of QPR, Fulham have struggled for goals, but Andy Johnson has 11 goals in all competitions this season. The former England striker is looking good then, at 9.0 with Skybet to open the scoring.

Spurs

Like Fulham, Tottenham have had the Europa League to contend with this season, but with a bigger squad and not quite so many games, Redknapp has been able to juggle the two more successfully. In fact, all is going very well for Spurs as they currently sit 5th in the league with a game in hand over the teams above them. They have also scored plenty of goals this season with 18 from 8 games, and so a 2-1 away win is looking good at 9.0 with Bet365. Rafael Van Der Vaart has continued to do well this season and is their top league scorer with 6 goals. The Dutchman is well worth backing to score at any time then, with odds of 2.75 available with Bet365. Spurs have been in great form recently, and so backing them to win both halves at 3.6 from Ladbrokes could well be another good choice.
