Day 118: We're backing Fulham to beat Newcastle at [2.08]
Fulham's 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup at the weekend may have flattered them slightly, but few can deny that the Cottagers were worthy winners.
They started the game brilliantly and harassed and harried Spurs from the first whistle, meaning Harry Redknapp's men never even got a chance to get into their fluid attacking style.
Fulham have lost just one of their last six games in all competitions and have won their last four on home soil - conceding only two goals in the process.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are without a win in three games and have won just one of their last six on the road - and that was a tight 1-0 win against relegation candidates Wigan Athletic.
With Newcastle lacking any real goal threat up top and Fulham welcoming back Andrew Johnson to something approaching full fitness, backing the Cottagers to come out on top at [2.08] looks to be well worth a punt.
Our bet: We're backing Fulham to beat Newcastle at [2.08], meaning that - before factoring in commission - we stand to win £10.80. Sign up for a new account now and have losing bets up to a total of £30 refunded for a week.
