Fulham vs Middlesbrough Betting Tips and Predictions

There are signs that Fulham are perhaps turning a corner having struggled overall since their relegation from the Premier League 2 years ago. They’ve lost just 1 of their last 5 games which includes wins over QPR and Charlton and they picked up a solid point at Leeds in midweek. They are now 10 points clear of the danger-zone and should have no problem beating the drop this term.

Middlesbrough picked up an important 3 points in midweek when they beat Cardiff 3-1 at the Riverside. They had gone 5 league games without a win prior to that and had lost ground on Hull and Burnley who now occupy the top two positions. Boro have games in hand though and could even return to the top of the league with 3 points here depending on other results.

Reason for Betting Tips

This could be an intriguing game with Fulham, the league’s top scorers taking on Boro who have the meanest defence. The Teesiders were beaten 4-3 on their last visit to Craven Cottage at the end of last season, a result that went some way to denying them automatic promotion. They haven’t been playing well of late and have scored just once in their last 3 away games, winning none of them. Therefore the improving Londoners could very well get a result here so consider backing Fulham Double Chance at 8/11.
