Competition: Championship
Market: Aleksandar Mitrovic to score anytime
Odds: 1/1 @ Bet365
Fulham must win their first ever play-off game if they are to have any hope of reaching the Premier League after a tough Championship play-off semi-final first leg loss to Derby County.
For the hosts on Monday night, after only failing to secure their spot in the Premier League by suffering an upset defeat to Birmingham on the final game of the season, the overwhelming playoff favorites must immediately bounce back to their best if they want to go one step further than they could last season. Coming off the back of their 1-0 first leg loss away at Pride Park on Friday night, The Cottagers have now lost their last two on the bounce and need star man Aleksandar Mitrovic to step up on Monday night. Since making the move to West London in January, the forward now has 14 for Fulham and has now recorded six goals in his last seven matches at Craven Cottage.
As for the visitors, it appears that Gary Rowett’s Derby side have saved their best form for the end of the season. Despite embarking on an eight-match winless run, The Rams are now unbeaten in their last four, winning three of those outings. While Fulham have Aleksandar Mitrovic, Derby’s recent success can be put down to the form of former Norwich striker Cameron Jerome. Along with scoring the winner in last Friday’s first leg, the 31-year-old now has five in his last four for the guests.
Bet: Aleksandar Mitrovic to score anytime against Derby on Monday night 1/1 @ Bet365>>
