Fulham vs Stoke City – (Wednesday 8.00pm)

Posted by Scorecaster in Premiership.

This should be an interesting clash between two sides who fully deserve their place in the Premier League & certainly both Roy Hodgson & Tony Pulis deserve great credit for the excellent jobs they have done in the last few seasons.

Roy Hodgson is now widely tipped to win Manager of the Year after guiding Fulham through an incredible season covering 60 matches & into a place in the Europa League Final while also maintaining a solid league campaign.

Tony Pulis has again managed to achieve a mid table finish with Stoke City for the second season running & they now look likely to be a very solid Premier League side for the next few years at least.

In terms of this match then the prize at stake for both Fulham & Stoke City is the potential to still finish 9th in the Premier League & earn a few extra million pounds so clearly this match does mean something & should ensure both teams are fully committed.

Tactically both Fulham & Stoke City are set up & organised in a similar fashion with team organisation, defensive strength & a solid team ethic the key factors which should make this a tight, competitive match & both teams will believe they can get something from the game.

The absolute key factor could be the strength of Fulham’s home form compared to Stoke City’s poor away form & although Stoke City have achieved 8 away draws, they very rarely look like winning & don’t usually carry too much of a goal threat away from home so that should give Fulham an excellent chance here.

This is not an entirely straightforward game to call & there probably will not be too much between Fulham & Stoke City on the night but Fulham are very hard to beat at home & they look a solid bet to finish their home league campaign with another win.
