Fulham vs Peterborough Predictions

• Managerless Peterborough are winless in eight Championship games, and without a goal in their last five.
• Fulham have scored 28 goals in their last eight Championship games, winning six.
• Four of Fulham’s last six wins have been by more than a one-goal margin.

Managerless Posh face impossible task

Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson called time on his third spell with the club after a 1-0 loss at Derby, which left the relegation-battlers winless in eight Championship games, and without a goal in five. Having lost 14 of their 16 away matches this campaign, his former side don’t appear to stand a chance when they visit Craven Cottage to face promotion-bound Fulham on Wednesday.

Fulham were beaten by Huddersfield in controversial circumstances last time out, but have still won six of their last eight games, plundering a remarkable 28 goals in that time. London’s oldest professional club have also posted 10 wins in their 17 home outings this season, and picked up a league-high 34 points from those games, with the league leaders making Craven Cottage a fortress.

Having scored an incredible 79 goals in their 31 matches to date, title-favourites Fulham look set to smash Reading’s modern-day record of 99 goals in a Championship season, set in 2005/06, and the visit of a Posh side which has conceded 62 goals already this season could help them on their way.

Hosts will prove too strong for struggling visitors

Considering the sorry state in which Peterborough now find themselves and the fantastic goalscoring exploits of their opponents, punters are confidently advised to back Fulham to beat a -1 handicap, which they’ve done in four if their last six victories.

Meanwhile, Aleksandar Mitrovic needs just one goal to smash the record for most goals in a Championship season, having netted 31 times already, and is, as always, a fantastic anytime goalscorer bet.

Fulham have averaged over 2.4 goals per game at home this season, and we’re backing them to go one better against their lowly opponents, recording a 3-0 victory.
