Goal Glut Surely Beckons At Craven Cottage

Liverpool look unstoppable as an attacking force and Fulham games see nearly as many goals for all the wrong reasons.

When Fulham meet Liverpool at Craven Cottage on Wednesday it’s hard not envisage a goal glut. Skybet currently offer market-leading odds of 3/1 on there being over 4.5 goals in the match and that feels like definite value.

After Manchester City (95), the Reds (93) and the Cottagers (79) have seen comfortably more goals in their fixtures than any other top flight sides. Of course, this comparison appears to flatter Fulham when the reality is that they ship goals whereas the Merseysiders predominantly score themselves! Regardless, the combination bodes well for this wager.

16 of Liverpool’s 25 league games have seen at least four goals. That means 64% of the time we would have won or been on the cusp of winning this bet. And the fact that Brendan Rodgers’ boys put five past Arsenal without Luis Suarez even finding the net ought to terrify the hosts who have conceded 55 times already.

The basement boys can’t really afford to play for a point at home so expect them to add to an open game, whether they really want to or not. The fact that Rene Meulensteen’s strugglers snatched a draw with two goals at Old Trafford shows that we aren’t entirely reliant on one team here.
