Fulham v Blackpool Betting Tips [29 January 2022]

League leaders Fulham will look to keep up their incredible scoring streak as they host bottom half Blackpool in this matchday 29 Championship fixture. The hosts currently hold a five point lead over second place Blackburn and have really been turning on the style in recent matches. Fulham have now won four straight league encounters, scoring 22 goals in those games with their last a 3-2 away win vs Stoke City. Marco Silva’s side has hands down been the best side in the division and they are significant favorites to extend their winning streak and their lead at the top of the table in this match. Their opponents today have been having an inconsistent season but will be buoyed by consecutive 1-0 league wins that sees Blackpool currently sitting in 14th position with 36 points. Blackpool’s last match was a 1-0 home victory against Millwall. 

Fulham have been absolutely scorching the nets in recent matches with some massive scorelines. The Cottagers have also been the division’s strongest first half team with a record of 19 wins, six draws and two defeats in the first 45 minutes. This includes an impressive 38 goals scored with only eight conceded for a goal differential of +30. Fulham often start matches quickly and there is much to suggest that the same trend will continue in this match. Blackpool have been below average in the first half with a record of six wins, 12 draws and nine defeats. This mark reduces to only two wins, four draws and six defeats when they are the away side in the first 45 minutes. Away from home the Seassiders have only scored three goals and conceded nine first half goals.

We’re going to back the hosts to be leading at halftime and full time. Due to the heavy price backing the Cottagers on the full 90 minute line, there is definitely some value here given the fact that they often start matches quickly. Fulham should see them continue their winning streak and notch a few goals as they make it five wins in a row. 3-0 to the home side is our prediction in this one.
