RELEGATION BATTLE

  • Posted on: 25 April 2013

Fulham will be hosting relegation threatened QPR at Craven cottage on Monday night. This will be one of the last chances for QPR to get out of the relegation zone.

Harry Redknapp's men are currently seven points adrift of safety with only seven matches remaining after this encounter. Hence, they are expected to fight to their best in the hope of catching the likes of Wigan and Aston Villa. Fulham, though, have been one of the inform teams in the league since the turn of the year. Hence, Redknapp will be aware of the fact that getting three points from this difficult away match will not be easy.

Further, the mini revival that the club had in the form of two back-to-back victories a few weeks ago appeared to have come to a halt following the 3-2 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. This defeat was especially bad for the club given that it just increased the amount of points they needed to get to safety. Wigan's 1-0 win over Norwich also means that QPR need seven points just to reach the final safety positions. Redknapp has said that the club needs to target at least four victories from the remaining matches in order to have any hope of survival.

This match is expected to have lot of goals. Bet Victor is one of the companies that is giving even money on the odds that there will be more than 2.5 goals in the game. They have also placed an odds of 3/4 for both teams to find the back of the net. This is an exceptionally good odd given that both teams have been in a good goalscoring form over the last few matches. The form of striker Dimitar Berbatov is especially positive for Fulham ahead of the match.
