Craven Cottage plays host to a likely entertaining Premier League contest on Sunday as Fulham takes on Manchester City.
Fulham vs Manchester City Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals/BTTS
Goals should be on the cards at Craven Cottage as Fulham and Manchester City face their final Premier League fixture of the season.
Previous encounters between these sides have typically delivered in the goal markets, with each of their last seven meetings seeing at least three goals scored. Five of their six most recent encounters also saw BTTS, while an average of 3.88 goals per game were scored in their last nine meetings.
Indeed, this fixture rarely proves a letdown with a minimum of two goals scored in their last 33 encounters over the past 21 years. 23 of those games also saw BTTS.
Man City arrives in London still needing a point or more to guarantee their participation in the Champions League again next season. Having suffered a painful FA Cup final defeat against Crystal Palace, the Citizens bounced back to winning form with a comfortable 3:1 win against Bournemouth on Wednesday.
Placed third in the division, Pep Guardiola's men retain a two-point cushion on Chelsea, Newcastle and Aston Villa heading into the final round of PL matches.
Fulham face their final fixture of the season placed tenth in the division, and no longer in the running for European qualification, despite a 3:2 win at Brentford last weekend.
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent for Marco Silva's men in recent weeks. Six of their last eight games, including each of their last three at the Cottage finished with BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored.
Considering the history of this fixture, I'm confident we will see over 2.5 goals scored, with Fulham more than capable of breaching a still vulnerable City defence.
Over 2.5 goals is my first pick, with BTTS added to add the value to Sunday's Premier League contest.
