FA Cup Third Round: Fulham v Charlton Athletic Odds and Betting Preview
By Jack Howard on 2012-01-07 07:00:01
LONDON, UK – Fulham face League One leaders Charlton Athletic this afternoon in the third round of the FA Cup. Fulham start the game as firm favourites to win the tie, and can currently be backed at best odds of 4/9 (bet £9 to make £4 profit) with Ladbrokes and Boylesports. For those punters anticipating a dramatic FA cup upset, however, Charlton Athletic are on offer at 7/1 with Victor Chandler, whilst the draw is available at 7/2 with Skybet.
Fulham are currently fourteenth in the Premier League, having secured 23 points from their 20 fixtures. Martin Jol’s side secured a memorable 2-1 win over Arsenal on Monday, scoring twice in the last five minutes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Jol will hope that his side can produce a similar performance against Charlton today. Despite being two divisions below the home side, however, Charlton Athletic could prove tough opposition. Chris Powell’s side have lost just one game in their last thirteen outings, and will hope to put up firm resistance against Fulham. Whether they can do enough to progress to the next round remains to be seen.
In the over/under betting the top price on over 2.5 goals being scored is 5/6 with Boylesports, whilst under 2.5 goals is on offer at 11/10 with Skybet. The bookmakers are clearly not anticipating a dreary goalless draw, however, and under 0.5 goals can therefore be backed at 12/1 with William Hill.
Bobby Zamora is likely to start up front for Fulham, and is currently 9/2 favourite with Paddy Power to be the first name on the score sheet. American forward and Fulham team mate Clint Dempsey is also deemed to be dangerous by the bookmakers, and is available to open the scoring at 5/1 with Bet365. Charlton Athletic’s most threatening attacking player, on the other hand, is deemed to be Bradley Wright-Phillips at 9/1 with Boylesports.
Fulham are quoted at best odds of 11/10 with Paddy Power to win the match after leading at half time, whilst draw/Fulham is on offer at 7/2 with Ladbrokes. Draw/Charlton Athletic is available at 16/1 with Ladbrokes, whilst those punters who think that the away side will fight back to secure a heroic win after trailing at the interval can back Fulham/Charlton Athletic at longer odds of 70/1 with Paddy Power.
Kick off is at 15.00 GMT
