Game: MAN CITY vs FULHAM
Type: ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Date: 12 April, 2009
PREVIEW
Man City, who recently lost 1-3 to Hamburg in UEFA Cup despite taking the lead, will be looking to make amends when they host Fulham. They have not won away since 27 Nov 2008, but at home Man City presents a different proposition - where they have won their last 7 matches and not conceded in the last 3. They score an average of 1.82 goals while conceding 0.91 goals.
Fulham will be hoping to capitalize on Man City's tiredness after the mid-week UEFA Cup match to notch their 2nd away win. They will be oozing with confidence after beating Bolton away two weeks ago. Nevertheless, scoring has always been an issue to Fulham whenever they travelled as they average a paltry 0.68 goals per away match.
KWIK STATS
HOME > MAN CITY
AWAY > FULHAM
THE PICK
MAN CITY should be able to edge a Fulham side that is having difficulties scoring away. A win for the home team will leap-frog them over the visitors in the league standings, and this should be enough to provide the extra motivation.
