Fulham Stadium

Another interesting match in the Premier League this weekend is the match between Derby County and Fulham.While the home team is already relegated, the away team is still in with a chance of avoid yet again relegation.

As i said before, Derby is already relegated and looking forward to the future and hoping to built a better team next season which can promote back to the Premiership next season but this time also manage to stay there.

Fulham on the other side are in a similar position in which they were last season, when they managed to avoid relegation.Judging by the way they play and the matches they have left to play this season, i see no reason why they can't avoid relegation this season as well.

I would rate this match against Derby a very important one.First of all it's a match that can supply easy points and most of the teams have won against Derby and Fulham will have no reason why they shouldn't succeed here.Another reason and interesting statistic at the same time, is the fact that Fulham are yet to win an away match this season.

Last season had only one away win, and today they have the chance to equalize last season's "performance".I don't see a better chance for them this season.Besides this one, they have 3 away matches left; against Reading, Manchester City and Portsmouth.If they don't get any points here I doubt they will manage better with the other 3 teams.

I think it's clear that Fulham is the better team in this match, with players like Jonhson and McBride they should be able to get the 3 points here, but just in case i've taken the draw no bet pick (or Asian Handicap 0) as the odds are still looking good even with this extra insurance.
