JUVENTUS VS FULHAM EUROPA LEAGUE BETTING TIPS
Juventus are considered very strong favourites for this match, but I have a feeling that Fulham could spring a surprise or two and could very well turn out to be more than the Italians had originally bargained for. The home side are trading at a slim price of 8/13 while the Cottagers can be backed at a 5/1 listing. The draw pays 13/5 and that’s not a bad bet, in my estimation.
OPTA Sportsdata points out that Fulham have opened the scoring in their last seven European fixtures. That’s a great statistic and with Bobby Zamora asking all the right questions of some very talented defences, I have a feeling that he may be able to unsettle Juventus’ back line.
It can’t be argued that Juventus boast some bigger names. Players like David Trezeguet, Alessandro Del Piero and the up-and-coming Sebastian Giovinco are all testaments to Juventus’ resurgent quality. However, I think that playing a lower key side like Fulham could be difficult for them and their defence needs to stay supremely organized.
Bobby Zamora’s odds to score anytime against Juventus are listed at 10/3 with a 9/1 price to score first or last. Stefano Okaka trades at 7/2 anytime and 10/1 first or last. Damien Duff can be backed at 11/2 to score anytime while Zoltan Gera is available at a 5/1 price. Jonathan Greening is available at a tidy 8/1 and he may be worth a look if you see his name in the starting line-up.
David Trezeguet is available at even money to score anytime and 4/1 first or last. Del Piero is trading at 5/4 anytime and 5/1 first or last. Diego can be backed at 7/4 anytime and 6/1 first or last- the same price as Michele Paolucci. Sebastian Giovinco is a solid 15/8 anytime shout.
If you think Juventus will run away with this one, try them (-3.0) at 12/1 with William Hill. The Italian side are odds-on to keep a clean sheet, with a 4/5 price. Fulham are 16/5 to shut out Juve.
I have a feeling that this is sort of an all or nothing match for Fulham. I think they are more than capable of springing a surprise and that price on the draw looks mighty tempting. This could be one for the in-play punters.
