In the quarter-finals of the Europa League after a dramatic 4-1 win against Juventus a couple of weeks ago, Fulham take on Wolfsburg, who were eliminated from the Champions League in the group stages this year.

2.25 represents an excellent price on the home win here, with Fulham's home atmosphere during these midweek night games being a huge factor in their success so far. In 9 such games so far this season, Fulham have won 8 of them, with the one defeat coming at the hands of Roma.

Wolfsburg are in excellent form domestically, although they had an aberration two weeks ago when losing 5-1 to basement club Hertha Berlin.

Fulham rested most of their first team against Hull at the weekend, and it is clear that they are focussing their season entirely on European success now. Bobby Zamora is "95% likely" to play according to Roy Hodgson, and we should make Fulham with confidence.

Expect another efficient performance from a well-oiled defence, and Fulham should nick this 1-0 or 2-0.
