Betting Tips for Today: Goals to flow as Cardiff visit Fulham in crucial Premier League clash

Cardiff City visit Fulham knowing that a defeat would be a hammer blow to their Premier League survival hopes.

Neil Warnock's side sit three points behind Brighton in the table and with an inferior goal difference, the Welsh side will be targeting this clash as their best opportunity for a valuable victory.

The Cottagers have won back-to-back games for the first time in the campaign though, albeit too late to avoid relegation themselves.

Fulham celebrate vs Chelsea

888Sport are 7/5 (2.40) that Scott Parker's side get three points while the visitors are 37/20 (2.85) to come out on top in south west London. The draw is available at 13/5 (3.60).

While there has been little for Fulham fans to cheer about in recent months, their best work has come at home with 18 points earned at this ground compared to just five on the road.

Despite both teams struggling in the final third this season, their lacklustre defensive credentials make backing a high-scoring game appealing. Cardiff have conceded 65 times thus far while Fulham have the worst tally in the division having leaked 76 times.

Fulham v Cardiff City Betting Preview

Over 2.5 goals is 8/11 (1.73) and looks a solid selection but it could be worth opting for the 39/20 (2.95) on four or more strikes. Fulham’s four home games against teams currently ranked 15th or lower have yielded 18 goals with three of them landing this selection.

The reverse fixture also ended 4-2 and this clash could follow a similar pattern. Fulham appear liberated since their relegation was confirmed and the visitors will need to attack in search of a vital victory.

Another option for punters could be to back 10/11 (1.91) on over 1.5 second half goals. Cardiff have scored 70 per cent of their Premier League goals this season after the break and may be forced to take more chances in the final third, leading to an end-to-end finale.
