13 December 2008 - Premier League

PUSH +0

There are several possibilities today, but all but one of the bets depends on the lineup and those will only be known in more detail closer towards the matches. I will of course post them here as soon as I make my bets, but it might not be appearing on Betshoot.com as it could be too late for their 1-hour policy.

At the moment there is only 1 confirmed bet.

Match: Stoke vs Fulham
Pick: Fulham +0 (Asian Handicap)
Odds: 2.18 (Paddy Power)
Stake: 5 units

Fulham have been playing very well recently, you can see the team gelling with their defense solid and sound and their offense gaining some potency. They have had a couple of draws lately but they are increasing in confidence and I believe they will go on to make a good run of results in the next few games. No injuries, same XI as played in the last couple of games, and better teamwork.

Stoke have been doing well too this season, being one of the surprise packages. They have great spirit, having come from 2-0 down at HT in Newcastle to draw 2-2. However, they have struggled against Derby and Hull recently, showing that quality wise they are still upper-Championship. Griffin, their captain, is not available for this match, and Shawcross and Kitson are doubtful. Their manager has even conceded that this will be a "tough game", and I believe so too. Fulham have been poor on the road so far, but as you know I don't believe in these statistics as they could easily just be down to luck.

Fulham are better than Stoke, and getting odds on them above evens is a bargain for the AH+0/Draw No Bet.
