Fulham to win high scoring game
We kick off our predictions for this game by backing Fulham to win a high scoring encounter; for clarity, we're defining that as a match with over 2.5 goals. Fulham might have been struggling for form of late but they tore Reading apart on Tuesday evening as they romped to a 7-0 win. That will instantly get the confidence flowing at Fulham again. Given Bristol City have managed just three wins in 10, it's fair to say their mood won't by be quite as buoyant. Their last four league games have all gone over 2.5 goals though.
Both sides will score
These two actually met in the FA Cup last weekend and played out a 0-0 draw; despite that we fancy both sides to find the net here. In league terms, Bristol City have seen their last four end with both teams scoring goals. Fulham meanwhile have seen goals for both teams in three of their past five league games. As for the head to head record, yes, these two played out a goalless draw last time but that's not exactly a trend; the four meetings prior to last weekend saw both sides amongst the goals.
