Roy Hodgson is convinced surprise package Fulham can defy the odds and beat Atletico Madrid in the biggest game in the club’s 131-year history on Wednesday (11/10 Atletico Madrid 23/10 draw 11/4 Fulham match betting).
The west Londoners have claimed some notable scalps en route to reaching the Europa League final at the HSH Nordbank Arena in Germany, including Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus and Hamburg.
But newly crowned manager of the year Hodgson wants to go one step further and win a major European trophy.
“If the question is whether we really want to win, have we prepared as best we can, will we give our all – the answer is a big, big yes,” he said.
Leading striker Bobby Zamora (6/4 Score Anytime) missed training on Tuesday night in Hamburg because of an ongoing Achilles injury and is a major doubt.
The 19-goal marksman was the only player missing from the eve-of-the-match session, with Damien Duff able to take part after recovering from a leg injury.
