Preview: Fulham v OB
Fulham will be hoping to secure qualification at home to OB
Fulham will look to hold off Wisła Kraków and claim a place in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 as they take on Group K's bottom side, Odense BK.
The 2010 finalists are sure to go through with a win against eliminated OB, and will go through regardless if Wisła fail to beat section winners FC Twente in Poland.
Two Andrew Johnson goals secured a 2-0 win for Fulham when the sides met on matchday two in the Cottagers' first game against Danish opponents. His low drive squirmed under Stefan Wessels for the first on 36 minutes and he wrapped up victory with a second two minutes from time.
OB have lost five of their seven games against English opponents, drawing the other two; in England their record is W0 D1 L2. That lone away draw came in London, 1-1 against Arsenal FC in the 1993/94 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup first round.
Fulham have already played 13 European games this season, since entering the first qualifying round through the UEFA Fair Play system. The Cottagers are the only side this season to have made it all the way from the first qualifying round to the group stage.
Fulham remain unbeaten in 22 European home games (17 wins and five draws) stretching back to their debut, a 0-0 UEFA Intertoto Cup draw against FC Haka on 6 July 2002. A 1-1 draw with FC Twente on matchday one ended a run of nine European wins at Craven Cottage.
OB have been alternating wins and defeats for their last five European away games. If that pattern is to continue, they are due a victory on the banks of the River Thames.
