I wasn't really digging any thing totals or side wise on the board today, so decided to take a crack at these. More of a roll of maybe $25 fun plays to make although I think some could hit. Just pointing some out, roll with whatever - these are just "fun" bets for me, not serious coin to be lost.
Time Of First Goal: After 27th Minute [+105]
I was a little surprised to find the stats that show that United averages their first goal at home around the 40th minute. That is compared with their road average which is closer to the 25th minute. Fulham averages conceding its first goal on the road around the 59th minute. Fulham's average time of their first road goal is the 42nd minute, while United's average time of conceding their first goal at home is the 45th minute.
Over 3.5 Goals [+150]
There is the chance today to move to the top of the table for United and they absolutely dismantled Fulham @ Craven Cottage [5-0] last time they met. It did take two very late goals to get the 4th and 5th, but they got there nonetheless. Fulham is also coming off a match in which Swansea swamped them for three goals. United now has seven straight league matches at home where they have scored at least twice. Although Fulham is not a potent road scoring club, United have also shown a little slacking defensive play at times at home - giving up a goal in half of their 14 matches.
1st Goal Scorer
Rooney +225
Dempsey +1200
Usual suspects here as all three have hit the scoresheet six times to open a match this season. Fulham hasn't scored at Manchester United since 2006, but juicy odds on the guy who seems to score almost every goal for Fulham w/Dempsey. Doubtful to hit, but stranger things have happened. Rooney is appropriately priced to open the scoring seeing as he has five goals against Fulham in the last four meetings at Old Trafford. Probably would take another shot at odds on a United player to open the scoring when the lineups are announced.
