Fulham v Blackburn Odds: New signing Bryan Ruiz a good bet to score first

The second of two live matches from the Premier League on Sunday is Fulham v Blackburn, where both teams are going in search of their first win of the season. Fulham have been priced up at odds of 4/6 to win this match at Craven Cottage by bookmaker Bet365, which seems short enough given their form so far this season. Blackburn can be backed at 9/2 with the draw a 13/2 shot.

Fulham are winless in their three matches in the Premier League season under new manager Martin Jol, despite winning their way through to the group stages of the Europa League. A 0-0 draw at Craven Cottage on the opening day of the season against Aston Villa was as good as it's got for Fulham as they have been beaten twice on the road since at Wolves and Newcastle, with just a Clint Dempsey consolation at St James's Park to show for in their campaign to date.

Costa Rican Bryan Ruiz looks a good signing from FC Twente and the winger come striker is 6/1 second favourite to score on his debut. This could very well be a low scoring game and Blackburn would be happy enough with a draw you'd have to think. It's 4/5 for their to be less than 3 goals in the match which looks a good bet, whilst Fulham to win 1-0 would be the pick of the correct score market at odds of 5/1 with Bet365.

Steve Kean's Blackburn side have got off to a miserable start this season and the manager is already feeling the pressure from disgruntled fans. Rovers are currently 11/10 third favourites in the Premier League relegation market following their narrow escape at the end of last season. An opening day home defeat to Wolverhampton was not a good result, before losing 3-1 away at Aston Villa and losing to an injury time penalty at home to Everton in their last match before the International break.

Blackburn were a touch unlucky to lose the Everton match, missing two penalties of their own before the visitors were awarded a dubious spot kick of their own in added time. One of the main problems for Blackburn has been scoring goals but in their defence they created enough chances to win three matches that day at Ewood Park. They managed to pick up a goal in both of their other defeats and face a Fulham side who drew 0-0 in their only match at Craven Cottage. Yakubu was a deadline day transfer but the Nigerian hasn't been pulling up any trees in recent seasons and Fulham look a good bet to keep a clean sheet at 11/10 with Bet 365.
