Fulham vs Man City Bet Builder Tips: 16/1 shot for away win

Manchester City’s quest to win four Premier League titles in a row has entered its final three matches and Pep Guardiola’s men know that if they gain maximum points from now until the end of the season, they will retain their title. Next up for them comes a trip to Fulham, and given it is the early kick-off on Saturday (12:30, TNT Sports), they can put the pressure on Arsenal before their trip to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. 

Below you can find my Fulham vs Man City Bet Builder Tips. 

Man City to win and BTTS No

It’s that time of the year again. Manchester City win every single match on their way to another Premier League title. How many times have we seen it before? It’s almost as though Guardiola turns the key on his Man City robot, and they boot into gear, unable to lose another match until August arrives. Beep boop. Another three points on the board.

Their run of form against Fulham in particular is insane. They are on a winning run of 15 consecutive matches against the Cottagers, winning 2-1, 3-0 and 2-0 on their last three visits to Craven Cottage. I simply cannot envisage City dropping points here, and the chance to go top of the league, even for 24 hours, is not one they will let slip. 

I’d also expect them to dominate Fulham, and keep a clean sheet in the process. City are able to strangle teams at this moment in time and they’ve kept three clean sheets in their last four games. This should be a simple afternoon for Guardiola and Co. 

Fulham under 2.5 corners

A different selection here, but one I think gives us great value. Fulham are unlikely to see much of the ball in this game and their corner numbers have caught my eye. In three of their last seven home matches they have had two corners or fewer, only clocking one apiece against Liverpool and Bournemouth. 

They lost 3-1 to the Reds and Liverpool are probably the side that is most comparable to Man City - just a little bit worse. As a result I don’t think the home side are going to force many shots or produce many corners this Saturday lunchtime, and Man City’s own stats support that. They didn’t concede a single corner in the win over Wolves, and they haven’t conceded more than four corners in one match for any of the last 13 games. I’ve picked out under 2.5 Fulham corners as a relatively safe selection.

Each team under 19.5 booking points 

A Saturday lunchtime kick-off in the sun by the river, and Fulham have nothing to play for. This has all the makings of a tame match, and a straightforward win for Man City. Fulham are unlikely to be able to ruffle their feathers, while City aren’t going to give much of the ball away, so I think we can expect Anthony Taylor to keep his cards in his pocket. 

We will allow some leeway, and under 19.5 points per team means they can afford to pick up one yellow each, but we may not see much more than that. Taylor has only handed out six yellows in his last two Premier League matches combined, while he didn’t book a single Man City player when taking charge of the 0-0 draw with Arsenal.

I’m not expecting fireworks, and so I think this pick gives us some added value.
