24th Dec 2013 | Premier League
Norwich v Fulham Tip
The Cottagers concede 2 goals a game on average and they face a player with 3 in his last 3 home outings.
Despite a discernible improvement for Fulham under Rene Meulensteen, the defence remains a major cause for concern. The Cottagers have leaked eight in two matches and 34 goals in total for comfortably the worst record in the Premier League.
One man who is liable to take advantage of a vulnerable back five is Norwich’s Gary Hooper. The former Celtic striker was prolific north of the border where he bagged 63 league goals in just 95 appearances for the Bhoys.
The 25-year-old has now quickly taken to life in the English top flight, finding the net in each of his last three outings at Carrow Road. At best odds of 7/4 (Betfred) to score anytime on Boxing Day, we must surely have ourselves a decent slice of value.
