Enormous game in the Championship this coming Saturday lunchtime as Fulham host West Brom at Craven Cottage with both sides fighting desperately to earn immediate promotion straight back to the Premier League. Bournemouth are currently leading the way in the Championship but Fulham and WBA unsurprisingly fill second and third position and there will be a huge battle between the three to finish in those two automatic promotion spots. As always I have put together a cheat sheet for you guys and below you will see my three favourite Bet Builder tips & predictions for the game. Expecting a belter at Craven Cottage and with the game being televised live on Sky Sports is the perfect opportunity for another bet builder article.
Fulham v West Brom Bet Builder Tips
Alexander Mitrovic to Score Anytime v West Brom
Really doesn’t require a rocket scientist to work out why I have gone with this one. The Serbian international is an absolute demon at this level of football and is close to unstoppable when playing in the Championship. No surprise even at this relatively early stage of the season to see him steaming ahead in the race for the golden boot. Mitro already has 15 league goals to his name in just 14 games and is averaging a league goal every 82 minutes played so far this season. At odds of above evens for a man of his quality and in this kind of form, I think that is very reasonably priced selection.
Not really worth referencing his shooting stats this season given his lack of minutes, however last season he had very decent numbers averaging 0.61 shots on target per 90. Against a far inferior Preston side and with Jones desperate to impress I think he looks an excellent candidate for a shot on target. He is currently being offered at a very generous price of 1.73 which for me represents excellent value.

Jake Livermore to be Booked v Fulham
Ironically, Livermore returns here following a one match suspension having already accumulated 5 yellow cards this season despite the season the league being only 14 games old. That ranks Livermore joint-second in the entire Championship for bookings this season and I fancy him to pick up another one at Craven Cottage. He is renowned for being a physically-imposing and aggressive central midfielder and is often a firm favourite in the referees notebook as a result.
He unsurprisingly then ranks highly on the cheat sheet in both the cards and fouls committed section. He has the most yellows of any WBA player and ranks second on fouls committed with an average of 2.16 fouls per game. Up against a very talented Fulham side and going toe-to-toe with the likes of Jean Michel-Seri and Tom Cairney make me even more confident that Livermore is the perfect candidate to pick up a card in this one.

Harry Wilson to have 1+ Shots on Target v West Brom
Shows what sort of talent Harry Wilson is considered by Fulham considering they were willing to spend close to £13m for his signature from Liverpool this summer. The Welshman was always going to struggle to break into a front line which included the likes of Diogo Jota, Sadio Mane and of course Mo Salah but he is really flourishing and is an important attacking component in a very capable Fulham side.
His stats are mightily impressive so far this season with 3 goals and 5 assists in his 13 appearances and he is realistically probably a little too good for the Championship. As many of you will already know, he has a wand of a left foot and will undoubtedly be over all the set-pieces that Fulham may get in this one which will further increase his chances of a shot on target. His cheat sheet stats are impressive where he averages 1.08 shots on target from the 3.13 shots he attempts and fancy him to get one between the posts in this one.
