Fulham to see off OB in the Europa League

The English side host Odense BK in their final group game. Jim Knight previews where the value lies as the hosts look to secure their place in the next round.After a disappointing loss away to FC Twente, Fulham will be looking to bounce back against Odense BK and ensure their participation in the next round of the competition. Martin Jol’s side went down 1-0 in the Netherlands and are now just one point above Wisla Krakow - but they will be confident of a win against the group’s bottom team. OB have claimed just three points in their five matches, losing their last four consecutive games in this competition and now have no chance of qualification. Unsurprisingly, the home side are heavy 1/4 favourites to win the game with Stan James, while OB are priced at 12/1 with the draw 19/4.Although OB’s results haven’t been good in this competition, they have scored in four out of their five matches, and both teams to score could be a tempting bet at 11/10 considering Fulham have only kept one clean sheet themselves.Andrew Johnson scored both goals in the reverse fixture between these two sides in Denmark. Bashkim Kadrii scored a hat-trick for the visitors in their last league game and he could be one of the main threats to Fulham.Jol has demonstrated his intention to take this competition seriously by naming strong line-ups in previous games, and there is nothing to suggest that will change here, especially as their place in the next round is not assured.Fulham HT/ FT is 4/6, and considering OB have nothing to play for, the London-based side could look to put the tie beyond them early.The Danes have also been behind at half-time in all four games that they’ve lost in the group. Punters with confidence in Fulham's strikeforce, can back them to score at least three goals at even money (2.0).
