Fulham vs Leeds United

, KO: 12:30 Apr 22, 2023, Craven Cottage
Leeds United

FULHAM will be looking to record back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since February when they lock horns with Leeds United on Saturday lunchtime.

Marco Silva's men dismissed the notion that they may already be on the beach by earning a 3-1 win at Everton last weekend.

That Goodison Park success catapulted the Cottagers back into the top half of the table and finishing there would round off what has been a very impressive return to the top-flight for the West Londoners.

In fact, Fulham have perhaps given themselves a slim chance of getting back in the mix for a European place and they will look to strengthen their case when Leeds United come calling.

The Whites' relegation fears heightened after suffering a humbling 6-1 defeat when playing host to Liverpool on Monday night.

That sobering setback has left Javi Gracia's side dangling dangerously above the drop zone as we approach the final furlong of the 22/23 campaign.

Outright Betting

Fulham emerged victorious from an FA Cup tie between the pair at this venue in February and the same outcome here can be backed at 13/10 (Bet 365).

Leeds United, who have triumphed in just two of their 15 top-flight road trips this term, arrive in the capital as 9/4 (Bet 365) chances while the draw has been chalked up at 5/2 (Boylesports).

Betting Angles

Goals are usually on the agenda when either of these sides are involved and there is plenty of scope for a repeat here with Over 2.5 Goals holding appeal at 10/11 (Bet 365).

Marco Silva's men have been entertaining Premier League crowds all season, and that is evidenced by the fact that a sizeable 20 of their 30 league games this season have produced three or more goals.

Fulham's knack for being involved in goal-heavy games can be attributed to them scoring in 23 of their overall 30 league games thus far, while failing to keep the back door shut in 22 of their contests.

It's a similar story for a Leeds United side that carry plenty of attacking threat but haven't managed to tighten up at the back under Javi Gracia's guidance.

Following a pair of bruising  back-to-back losses at the hands of Crystal Palace and Liverpool in recent weeks, the Whites now hold the unenviable tag of the leakiest defence in the the division.

With all that in mind, coupled with the fact that each of Leeds' last six Premier League matches have featured a minimum of three match strikes, siding with the same selection at Craven Cottage on Saturday seems like a sensible solution at 10/11 (Bet 365).

Elsewhere, I'll also take the 5/6 on offer with PaddyPower for Fulham's João Palhinha to commit 2 or more fouls.

The Portuguese midfielder has given away two or more free-kicks in four of Fulham's last seven Premier League home games and he looks like a prime candidate to tackle his way into trouble on Saturday lunchtime.
