Fulham prepare to entertain Blackburn Rovers at Craven Cottage at lunchtime on Saturday, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 34 games played, Cottagers have recorded 14 wins, and Blackburn R. have come away with 8 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Craven Cottage was less than a year ago, in April 2004, with Blackburn R. inflicting a narrow 3-4 defeat upon the Cottagers in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Fulham's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Cottagers have scored 6, a worringly large 13 have been leaked at the other end.
The away form of Blackburn R. is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. Rovers have conceded 13 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.
Fulham see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premiership, showing a record of 14 points from their 14 games played so far, Blackburn R. find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 14 games have yielded only 10 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Cottagers's form is quite poor at the moment, but I see this as their ideal opportunity to register a morale-boosting win. Home Win
