Fulham vs Man City Prediction and Betting Tips: Best bets for the early kick-off from Craven Cottage

Manchester City’s pursuit of a fourth consecutive Premier League title continues on Saturday lunchtime as they travel to the capital to take on Fulham. Check out our best bets for the game which includes a selection from the shots on target market.

Fulham are winless in their last three matches and have a tricky end to the campaign with fixtures against Man City and Tottenham remaining. The Cottagers have accrued 44 points this season and currently occupy 13th in the top-flight table.

Heading into the weekend Manchester City are one point behind league leaders Arsenal, however City do have a game in hand over their title rivals. After a run of six consecutive wins, City are the short-priced favourites to make it seven in a row and put the pressure back on The Gunners at just 1/5. The draw is on show at 6/1, while a shock victory for Fulham can be sided with at 11/1. 

It was quite a shock to see Rodri not nominated for the Player Of The Season award on Thursday considering his phenomenal output for his side. The Spaniard has made the most accurate passes and final third passes in the division over the course of the campaign and has also provided 16 goal involvements. 

It’s the shots on target market where we are following the Manchester City midfielder on Saturday and we are backing him to have one or more in the game at a generous looking even money (1/1) with BetMGM. 

Rodri is enjoying his most fruitful season in-front of goal with eight for City across all competitions. With 20 shots on target in 31 league outings, the 27-year-old makes plenty of appeal here at the current prices considering his team are expected to dominate the match.

Fulham’s goalless draw with Brentford last weekend was one of the most uneventful games of the season and typified a clash between two sides who have nothing left to play for this season. This could well be the case with The Cottagers here and we expect the visitors to win this one at somewhat of a canter. 

Exiting the Champions League has benefited Manchester City domestically and over the last couple of weeks they have looked bombproof. Erling Haaland is back to his dominant best and scored four against Wolves last week and is now just 1/25 to be crowned top-scorer for the second season in a row.

City have won six consecutive league games and have a superb record against Fulham having come out on top in all of their last 15 meetings with the West London club. When the pair met in the reverse fixture last year Pep’s side came out 5-1 winners and another demolition job looks likely here. Take the -3 City handicap with BetMGM at 100/30, meaning this bet will cash if they win the game by four goals or more.
