Fulham are unbeaten in an impressive 9 games and even though that run contains 6 draws, it is a run only matched by league-leaders Liverpool, who also lost their last game on the 1st of November; Fulham’s record has been largely down to some excellent defensive work and they have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 in the league.

At home, Fulham have another record that rivals the best in the league, and they have taken 21 points from their 10 home games – a record only one point lower than Man Utd and Liverpool’s home points tally this season.

Sam Allardyce’s appointment at Blackburn has seen their form turn around and they were unlucky to draw at home to Man City in their last game (2-2) after leading 2-0 until the 88th minute; that game followed a 3-0 win at home to Stoke and a 0-0 draw at Sunderland, and under Allardyce, Blackburn are looking stronger at the back (despite those late goals conceded against City).

With Blackburn failing to score in 3 of their last 4 away games and with Fulham having a superb defensive record, the under 2.5 goals is understandably low at around $1.70 and at that price may be worth avoiding.

While Sam Allardyce is having an impact at Blackburn, his side still have 0-2-4 from their last 6 away from home and he may find it tough to find a way past Fulham’s defence; Fulham, in contrast have 4-2-0 from their last 6 at home and look decent value to take the win at $2.15 from Unibet.
