It's Championship action for Paul Robinson today as he thinks that Fulham can be opposed at odds-on for the visit of Burton.

"There is no denying that their momentum is slowing down however and they were beaten on this ground the last time we saw them."

Lay Fulham v Burton @ 1.9210/11

Fulham v Burton
Tuesday September 13, 19:45 BST

I had expected Fulham to struggle this season following the loss of a couple of key players over the summer. That hasn't been the case thus far though as they opened up by beating Newcastle and have since gone on to win two, draw two and lose just one of their next five.

There is no denying that their momentum is slowing down however and they were beaten on this ground the last time we saw them. Prior to that it was one win in four inside 90 minutes in all competitions and they have Michael Madl suspended tonight.

Burton were promoted from League One and Nigel Clough has them nicely positioned in mid-table in his second spell at the club. If we ignore their League Cup exit to Liverpool - which I think can be forgiven - they are undefeated in four and that includes a tricky trip to Wolves and an away game at Blackburn.

The Brewers have more than held their own at this level thus far and they have plenty of goals in their locker - which is something that many other teams would kill for.

This fixture should be much tighter than the odds suggest, which is why, with Fulham trading at around the 1.9210/11 mark, I have to make them my lay of the day.
