Fulham defeat makes survival an impossible task

Competition: Premier League
Market: Fulham to get relegated
Odds: 1/4 @ Bet 365

After a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea, Fulham remain bottom of the league, while having played more games than all the sides around them. It makes survival an even more difficult task, and as a result Bet 365 are giving odds of 1/4for the London side to be relegated come May.

Despite manager Felix Magath certain he can keep the side in the division, Fulham’s defence is the biggest worry. They have conceded 62 goals in 28 games this season – 14 more than their nearest competition. They’ve won just one game in 10 – losing seven.

The Cottagers currently have a four point deficit to make back on their rivals, but with one game less in which to do it. Should the teams around them pick up three points ith their games in hand, that could well spell the end of Fulham’s stay in the Premier League.

Magath’s men have 10 league games to go this season, four of which are against Newcastle United, Manchester City, Everton, and Tottenham which they will likely pick up zero points from. Unless Magath can sort Fulham’s leaky defence out, they will have no hope of survival now. Are Fulham down and out?
