Leeds vs Fulham Predictions

• Fulham have lost their last three league meetings with Leeds
• The Cottagers have won just once in their last 10 away Premier League games
• Leeds have conceded just three times in three home games
• Fulham have conceded 20 goals so far this term

Leeds need a boost

After a 2-0 loss at then-bottom Leicester on Thursday night, Leeds fans were singing Marcelo Bielsa’s name. The fans aren’t too pleased after a seven-game winless run, which has seen them lose five times.

The Whites are fifth-bottom, directly above two sides who have sacked their managers this side of the international break. Pressure is growing on Jesse Marsch, but could Sunday’s clash with Fulham ease that pressure?

Tough spot for Cottagers

This is a tough spot for Marco Silva’s side, who are coming off a win at home to Aston Villa. Fulham haven’t won across their last five league visits to Elland Road, while the Cottagers have also lost the last three encounters between these two sides.

In fact, London clubs have won just 19 of their 83 Premier League away games against Leeds. Don’t expect Fulham to be the side to change that, given that they have won just one of their last 10 Premier League away games, including three of their last four.

Home advantage to count for Leeds

No side has conceded fewer home goals than Leeds so far in the Premier League this season, as they’ve shipped just three goals so far. Their only home defeat of the campaign came against leaders Arsenal last weekend, with the Gunners only able to grind out a 1-0 victory.

The visitors have already conceded 20 goals this term, managing only two clean sheets since returning to the top flight. Leeds should be able to keep them quiet, so Fulham’s defensive issues are an opportunity for the hosts to return to winning ways. I’m backing them to claim the points and edge out a 1-0 victory this weekend.
