Preview & Prediction: Leeds United vs Fulham

Fulham and Leeds United will clash on April 22nd in the Premier League, with previous matches between them averaging 2.47 goals and seeing BTTS land 53% of the time. Fulham has won 5 out of 15 previous meetings, while Leeds United has won 4 with 6 ending in a draw. Fulham has been struggling to score goals in recent games, failing to score in 2 of their last 5 matches, but both teams have scored in 60% of Fulham’s matches this season.

Leeds United, on the other hand, has scored 9 times in their last 5 games and has scored in their last 6 games. Fulham has an average home form, while Leeds United has performed poorly in away matches, but Leeds is expected to score in this match. Given the teams’ recent form, there is potential for both teams to score, but it’s harder to predict who will come out on top.

Marco Silva feels that reading too much into Leeds United’s past two results is a mistake.

Javi Gracia’s side conceded 11 goals in recent defeats to Crystal Palace and Liverpool, but when asked if it makes them a dangerous opponent on Saturday, Silva said, “Yes, yes. I know that they are not in the best position, but they are fighting for something. It’s nothing different for us to the last three teams that we played against – Bournemouth was the same, West Ham was the same, and Everton. We don’t look for Leeds’ last two games, it will be the first mistake if you look for the last two results.”

“Of course, we analyse the games and we did what we should have done, but we didn’t look for the results because it will be the first mistake if you think those results is something that is a normal situation for Leeds, because we already played twice against them this season. We know how they can be really tough to play against if they are at their best, that is clear for me, they are always a threat in the attack line. There are very good players in that attack line, players with a lot of skill that can create problems to you. Of course, we analysed them as a team, we know their weakness, but we know their strengths as well, and we want to exploit the weakness to try to win the football match,” he added.
