COVENTRY - FULHAM
The market leans one way without any real conviction. Fulham is the shortest price on a book of 3.20 / 3.40 / 2.25 (1 / X / 2), an implied 42.3%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 29.7% / 28.0% / 42.3% on an overround of 5.1%.
The draw is unusually well backed at 3.40 (28.0%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.
