Reason for Fulham vs Leeds United Predictions
Fulham’s recent form has been shaky, and it is bound to get tougher for them as they go into their third-round League Cup game at home to Leeds United. They are coming from a shock loss at home to Reading and now have failed to keep a clean sheet in three straight games. The failure to Reading was their second in three matches, but they’ve been unable to score in just one of the last five. In their shaky run of late, Fulham’s previous four games have seen three end in over 2.5 goals. They have three straight losses in matches against Leeds United. Their latest results really do illustrate the point that not much more can be done by the Fulham backline. Fulham has been miserly, seeing the total number of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous six outings standing at 4. Ivan Cavaleiro is a guy who makes a lot of trouble for the opponent on the left flank. He has speed and an excellent one-on-one game. Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho enjoys the pitch, when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems, he is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy.
Leeds United, on the other hand, isn’t having a very good start to the season. Their only win so far was in the League Cup, a 3-0 victory over Crewe Alexandra. That win also marked their first and only clean sheet this season, while they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the six games they’ve so far played. While they’ve been poor defensively, Leeds hasn’t struggled so much in attack; they’ve failed to score in just one of their six matches in the season – the 3-0 defeat by Liverpool. Ahead of this game, Leeds drew 1-1 with Newcastle United. They haven’t scored more than a goal in their last three matches, and they’ve managed that in just two of their six games this season. Kalvin Phillips has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Patrick Bamford was the team’s best player last season, with 17 goals scored. He is doing great in the penalty area, and goals are also expected from him in the Premier League.
Conclusion
It will be a big battle between these two teams, and it will not be surprising if the match ends in a draw.
We can also expect a goal in both nets, and neither side should keep the clean sheet.
