Southampton vs Fulham BettingChoice Analysis

Southampton desperately need three points when they play Fulham at St Mary's on Wednesday evening. The Saints can be backed at a best price 6/4 with Betdirect, who incidentally have set up a market that allow donations for the Tsunami Fund.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> So far in Harry Redknapp's short reign at the club, he has seen his new team throw away a 2-0 lead against Boro, and been held to a goalless draw by Charlton at home. If the former Pompey manager is to starve off relegation, winning at home is crucial. The major signing for Harry Redknapp is that of his son. Frustrated for much of his career through injuries, bet365 reacted to this news by opening a market on how many Premiership games Jamie Redknapp will start for the Saints this season.Spokesman for bet365, Steve Freeth had the following to say on the free transfer. "Jamie's been known to have the odd injury or two and it will be interesting to see how many games he manages this season with his old man in charge." Also set to start for Southampton is another new signing, Callum Davenport who plays as Claus Lundekvam and Michael Svensson are facing long lay-offs. If there is one club the Saints would like to play at the moment, Fulham would be fairly near the top of their list. Not only are the Cottagers only two places above the relegation zone, they have never won a top-flight match on Southampton soil. With the fresh injection of new players, plus the poor record of the visitors on the South Coast, try a small bet on the hosts taking maximum points. Another bet worth a small interest is that of Jamie Redknapp being named man of the match. Reduced in recent weeks to a substitute role at White Hart Lane, the former Spurs skipper will be the focus of attention before, during and after the game. Even a slightly above average performance in a home victory would probably be sufficient to take the bottle of bubbly back to Louise.
