Fulham backed for draw with Bristol City by Sky Sports pundit despite sketchy home form. The Sky Sports pundit is finding it difficult to split the two sides despite Fulham's poor home form this season Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has backed Fulham to get themselves a 1-1 draw with Bristol this evening, but has described Craven Cottage as a "tough place to go" despite poor form. The Cottagers have only got themselves one win at home so far this season, a 2-1 victory over Hull, and have found the going tough at home so far, drawing five games by the River this season. Late goals conceded against Cardiff and Middlesbrough meant three points were sacrificed into one, while final minutes goals scored against Preston and Bolton salvaged a point. And ahead of the game tonight, Prutton is struggling to split the two tonight. In his Sky Sports column, he said: "What a run of form Bristol City are on at the moment! They may have suffered that defeat against Leeds but bounced back superbly with another couple of big wins on the spin. "Fulham are a strange one this season. Every time you think they're about to build up a head of steam they suffer another poor result that takes them back to square one. "But Craven Cottage is still a tough place to go and I can't split these two right now." http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/fulham-backed-draw-bristol-city-13835299
I think a draw is probable but with our size of squad we should be capable of a win, either will be acceptable.

In-form Bristol City produced a superb, counter-attacking away performance to win at Craven Cottage and extend Fulham's winless run to four matches. Bobby Reid and Korey Smith both netted from swift breakaways by the visitors in an open first half of high quality. After half-time, Fulham went down to 10 men when Aboubakar Kamara was dismissed for shoving Bailey Wright off the ball. The hosts' best effort had come at 0-0, but Ryan Sessegnon's strike hit the bar and City were comfortable late on.
