Manchester City v Fulham Betting Tips February 4th 2012

Match Preview

Manchester City

Manchester City recorded a loss in the mid-week round against Everton with the minimal 0:1, and showed a weakness and an example of how they can be defeated. Apparently the absence of Kolo and Yaya Toure has played their part, but this is shouldn’t be a valid excuse. Mancini has given out an interview after the game, where he takes full responsibility for the loss. City are still first in the league with 54 points and a superb home record of W11 D0 L0, scoring 34 goals and conceding only 6 in those games. On the average that’s scoring more than 3 goals per game. A new player has come on a loan in the team, David Pizarro a midfielder from Roma on a loan.

Fulham

Fulham are currently 13th in the table with 27 points and most recent game, a draw against West Bromwich during this week. Cottagers’ away record is so far W1 D5 L7 scoring 7 goals and conceding twice as many. During the January transfer windows, the team has gone shopping, acquiring 4 new players: Pavel Pogrebnyak, attacker from Stuttgart for 3.6 million, Ryan Williams a midfielder from Portsmouth, Jack Grimmer a midfielder from Aberdeen and Lasse Christensen a midfielder from FC Midtjylland. Let’s not forget that Fulham was the first team this season, to take points from Manchester City, recording a draw 2:2 after losing on half-time with 0:2. Of course the biggest name of those new transfers is Pogrebnyak who will be expected to boost the team’s firepower.
