Anorak: 5-6 Fulham to halt Wigan’s march

AFTER Wigan’s past two heroic performances in taking the maximum points off Manchester United and Arsenal, you would think only only a madman would oppose them.

But, after closer inspection, there are several factors why Fulham represent a cracking bet to maintain their Craven Cottage form.

Firstly Martin Jol’s men are much fresher than their opponents, who have two energy-sapping games since Fulham did something Barca couldn’t do and hold Chelsea to a draw a fortnight ago. They also have the Premier League’s in-form and most underrated striker in Clint Dempsey leading the line, so let’s go against the grain and have a decent bet at 5-6 on the points staying in Fulham today.

Portsmouth are not going down without a fight and are a stand out 13-10 with Scotbet to beat mid-table Derby. The same applies with Bristol City, who can take care of Barnsley, who are finally safe (10-11 general).

Bayern Munich will finish second in this year’s Bundesliga and I’m informed will rest players today at Werder Bremen, who are available at 5-2 on the Coral Euro coupon.
