Have a loss-proof bet on Fulham flopping!
Their results have taken a turn for the worse in 2011 but Blackpool remain the most entertaining team to watch in the Premier League in terms of goals scored in their matches, and after drawing 2-2 with Fulham at Bloomfield Road in August, it's no surprise that the return fixture is being televised.
The Seasiders started the season as clear relegation favourites yet until recently it was Fulham that looked the more likely of the two to finish in the bottom three, although the roles have switched back as a result of the Cottagers' convincing form since Christmas.
It's the impressive recovery that Mark Hughes' side have engineered that sees them rated as [1.6] favourites to defeat Blackpool, as they have won six of their last eight at Craven Cottage, yet their failure to win two of their last three there persuades us that the lay price of [1.61] is more appealing.

Fulham have only been victorious in one of their last six Premier League encounters, and that was a fairly fortuitous win against dreadful travellers Blackburn that was secured by a late penalty, while Blackpool ended a five-game away losing streak against the same opponents last time out.
Ian Holloway's men have been beaten in just two of their last five outings having lost eight of the nine prior to that, so they will be confident of adding at least a point to their tally of 33. The draw is offered at a massive [4.4], with the Tangerine triumph [6.4].
Seven of Blackpool's last eight, including each of the last four, have featured over 3.5 goals, so that's another wager worth pursuing at [2.54].
