Fulham Favored to Advance in FA Cup Clash Against Watford
Fulham FC is set to face Championship side Watford in a highly anticipated third-round FA Cup tie at Craven Cottage on Thursday, January 9, 2025. The Cottagers, riding an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League, are heavy favorites to advance, with Sky Bet odds placing them at 1/10 to win the match.
Marco Silva‘s squad has been in stellar form, securing draws against top-tier teams like Arsenal and Liverpool, while also defeating Brighton and Chelsea in recent weeks. Their consistent performance has solidified their position as a formidable contender in both league and cup competitions.
Watford, on the other hand, enters the match in poor form, having lost three consecutive games and four of their last five. Despite sitting ninth in the Championship table, the Hornets face an uphill battle against a confident Fulham side. Sky Bet has listed Watford as 11/2 underdogs to cause an upset and progress to the fourth round.
In addition to the Winner of Tie market, Sky Bet is offering a featured bet for the match: Fulham to score three or more goals, achieve seven or more corners, and Watford to receive 20+ booking points, all at odds of 4/1. Fulham’s recent offensive prowess, including six goals in their last three Premier League games, further bolsters their chances of dominating the tie.
The match kicks off at 7:45 PM local time, with fans eagerly anticipating whether Fulham can continue their strong run or if Watford can defy the odds and secure a memorable victory.
