Basement Boys Do Battle

It's 19th against 20th at Cardiff City Stadium and nothing but a win will do either side.

The bookies don’t see this crucial six-pointer providing a lot of entertainment for the neutrals, but I think WilliamHill’s price of 12/5 on there being over 3.5 goals in the match is worth a second look.

The crucial thing to remember here is that both sides are absolutely desperate for victory. Felix Magathe has set his Fulham team a target of six wins from their remaining 10 matches and clearly this will be one he had in mind. Equally for Cardiff, just one point better off, a victory is just as vital with anything less sure to be regarded as a failure.

If those mindsets don’t create attacking opportunities then the weaknesses of the respective defences surely will! The Cottagers have conceded an eye-watering 62 goals while the Bluebirds are comfortably the next worse in the division with 49 opponents’ efforts finding their net.

Throw in the inevitable nerves and Saturday has every chance of being pretty high-scoring, with one or both teams probably written off as relegation certainties by full-time.
