Fulham travel to Cardiff for their Championship semi-final 1st leg, while the MLS is Back Tournament last-16 continues. But what should you be watching? It’s the Sports Spread Bets of the Day!

What are the odds on Fulham being promoted?
Narrowly missing out on automatic promotion, Fulham have been forced to go the play-off route – they face Cardiff at 7.45pm on Sky Sports Football.

Finishing a whole 8 points higher than the Bluebirds, the Cottagers were undone by draws against West Brom and Wigan in their final 3 fixtures. That does mean, however, they rounded out the season proper on a 7 game unbeaten streak.

That’s why they are narrow favourites for promotion in general, at a Championship Playoff Index spread of 9.5-11 – where the winner gets 25 points and losing finalist 10 – and fixed odds of 2/1, the same as Brentford.

What are the odds on Cardiff being promoted? They are currently the least fancied side, at a Index spread of 6-7.5, and fixed odds of 4/1.

Who will win Cardiff v Fulham? Their first meeting this season ended in a 1-1 draw, while Cottagers then won 2-0 on July 10th. Yet a play-off semi-final is a different proposition entirely, hence a choice Cardiff/Fulham Goal Supremacy spread of -0.1-0.1.

Finally, what are the odds on Aleksandar Mitrovic scoring against Cardiff? With goals in both meetings so far, the Serbian forward is at a Super Mega Player Goal Minutes spread of 33-39.

Who will win the MLS is Back Tournament?
As a replacement for the season proper – or, at least, that’s what seems to be happening – the awfully-named MLS is Back Tournament continues its round of 16 this Monday (well, early hours of Tuesday morning in the UK).

At 1.30am, on Sky Sports Football, the San Jose Earthquakes face the Real Salt Lake. The Earthquakes topped Group B, with a goalless draw against the Seattle Sounders, and 4-3 and 3-0 wins over the Chicago Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps.

Salt Lake, meanwhile, snuck through in 3rd place in Group D, with a win over the Colorado Rapids and a draw against Minnesota United.

The Earthquakes are fancied, at a San Jose/Salt Lake Goal Supremacy spread of 0.3-0.5, alongside a Total Goals spread of 2.6-2.8.

What are the best bets for Seattle Sounders v Los Angeles FC?
In Monday (slash Tuedsay’s) other last-16 fixture, the Seattle Sounders take on Los Angeles FC at 4am on FreeSports (Sky 422).

Los Angeles draw 3-3 against Houston Dynamo and 2-2 against Portland Timbers, while winning their derby 6-2 against LA Galaxy. Diego Rossi got 4 against Galaxy, leaving him on a Tournament-leading 5 goals.

The Sounders, meanwhile, were Group B runners-up, with a win and a draw.

Spreadex is offering a Los Angeles FC/Seattle Goal Supremacy spread of 0.45-0.65, alongside a Total Goals spread of 3.25-3.45.
