How will Leeds react to the Liverpool debacle?
Promoted Fulham is having a good season in the Premier League, even if the Cottagers have lacked a bit of purpose recently. Still, it continues to look like the season could end up being judged a success. The Fulham vs. Leeds prediction from the bookmakers is also in favor of the hosts.
Fulham is thus the favorite in this match. This is also due to the fact that Leeds and coach Javi Gracia currently do not have too much going together. Most recently, there was even a significant 1:6 defeat against Liverpool FC, in which the team completely collapsed.
The home side has been a bit more vulnerable lately, which is something the team should do better in the upcoming games. Due to the current omens, our Fulham vs. Leeds tip is that both teams will come to score.
Fulham – Statistics & current form
Fulham FC is playing a season that is anything but normal for a promoted team. Early on, the Cottagers under coach Marco Silva have managed to build a cushion on the relegation places. Through good performances, a lot of offensive power and a good balance, this became bigger and bigger. That’s why the team enters the match against Leeds in tenth place. 42 points from 30 games speak for a thoroughly successful season.
The aim now is to make it even better. A place in the top half of the table, as they currently hold, should be the result. However, Fulham lost its last two home games, so the team should get back on track. However, there was a victory last time, when they won 3:1 at Everton FC. There have been no long periods with defeats or generally weak results so far.
Especially since an opponent is now coming to Craven Cottage that Fulham enjoyed playing this season. The first leg went to the Londoners, a meeting in the cup as well. Therefore, the third victory this season against the same opponent could now follow. And Fulham will go into the match as favorites anyway.
Fulham wants to improve the record of the last weeks
Fulham FC have lost five of their last six games. With the win against Everton, therefore, the turnaround may have been initiated. Currently, however, there is still the question of whether that is really the case. A win against Leeds would therefore be important in order to really take a step forward.
It will also be important to watch out in the final quarter of an hour. Both Fulham and the visitors from Leeds have conceded a lot of goals in this phase, and both have conceded a double-digit number of goals. The home side should benefit from the fact that their opponents are unsettled and that their own offense took a step forward in the 3:1 win against Everton.
Because Fulham also allowed a few goals recently and Leeds is generally defensively vulnerable, our prediction before the match Fulham vs Leeds is that both teams will score.

Leeds – Statistics & current form
You can’t make much sense out of Leeds United this season. The team has had some decent periods, but they’ve also had games in them that have been absolutely disastrous. Against Liverpool on Monday was one of those disastrous games. Leeds lost 1:6 to the Reds, it was a debacle especially in the course of the second half.
As a result, Leeds, which now stands at 29 points in 31 games, slipped to 16th place in the table. The visitors definitely have to tremble, they are two points off 17th place and also two points off the first relegation spot. Two wins from the last eight competitive games are anything but ideal. What’s more, the visitors have a worse record away than at home, winning only two of their 15 games away from home.
Leeds United is a team that scores a lot of goals. The goal difference is 40:60, which means that in 31 matches with Leeds participation so far there have been 100 goals, almost three on average per match. In recent weeks, Leeds has even been above this average. That’s one of the reasons why, ahead of the Fulham vs Leeds game, the odds show that there are likely to be some goals scored.
Clearly too many goals conceded for Leeds
Three of the last four league games Leeds have lost. The results: 1:4 against Arsenal, 1:5 against Crystal Palace and just 1:6 against Liverpool. 15 goals conceded in the last four games is not a good record and, overall, far too many. Three teams in the Premier League have conceded more goals away from home.
Moreover, a look at the remaining schedule doesn’t exactly provide much encouragement. Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham, for example, are Leeds’ last four opponents. Before then, they should be looking to pick up a few points. However, in view of the recent results, this is not likely to be so easy; internally, nerves were already frayed, with coach Javi Gracia clearly counting the team down.
Because Leeds recently revealed so many problems, our value tip before the game Fulham vs. Leeds is that the hosts will win
