Fulham v Leeds Betting Preview – Championship 7th March 7.45pm
Can Fulham pull out what would be a huge win for themsevles? They are just the on outskirts of the play off zone in the Championship and the three points could edge them closer. Importantly they have a game in hand over all but one of the six teams above them as well, so this is a big three points that they could bag against Leeds. Like Fulham, Leeds are running in good form at the moment and this should be a tight and thoroughly entertaining clash at Craven Cottage. Leeds need the points to continue their battle with Huddersfield for third place in the table.

Fulham v Leeds Betting Tips
The Cottagers have won their last four games on the bounce at home in the Championship and overall home and away have gone unbeaten in five there. So they will have their backers in this one. They are in decent form at the moment and they have lost only one of their last eleven home games this season so will give Leeds a tough evening. Fulham really need the points in this one because they go into the Tuesday action five points adrift of the play off zone. But they do have a game in hand over most of the teams above them so they need to keep plugging away to reel in the top six. They are carrying the form to do so. These two played out a 1-1 draw earlier in the season at Elland Road and each of the last three between these have ended in that scoreline. A 1-1 correct score at Bet365 is trading at 6/1 and that may be some decent value. Fulham are W2 D1 L1 in their last four home games against Leeds.
There is a price of 4/6 at Bet365 on both teams to score and as 71% of Fulham’s home league games this season have gone over the 2.5 goal line, you have a quote of 8/11 on this one going above the goal line too. Chris Martin is trading at 13/10 in the anytime goalscorer market for the Cottagers, who are missing Lucas Piazon. Fulham have suffered only the one loss in their last six against Leeds now home and away with a decent (W2 D3 L1) record and at Craven Cottage, Fulham have lost just one of their last six against Leeds in a W3 D2 L1 record. Whichever way you look at his one it should be a pretty tight affair but if Fulham can grind out the advantage, it’s unlikely going to by by anything other than a one goal margin which is a price of 11/4 at Bet365.
This is just as important for Leeds as well because they will want to keep up their good momentum. They have put together an unbeaten run of W3 D1 in the Championship and really showed their mettle in taking a home win against fellow play-off contenders Sheffield Wednesday. Leeds are a patchy W2 D2 L2 in their last six league games away from home though on league duty, which suggest a little variability. Chris Wood is 13/10 in the anytime goalscorer market for them. Overall this season Leeds have gone W8 D2 L7 out on the road, so they haven’t been a particularly solid away from Elland Road, recently losing at Huddersfield and this is just as tough of a game for them. The whites are 5/1 to get out with a one goal winning margin in the game. There s not likely to be too many quarters given in this one, so expect a tight old scrap in the capital.

Fulham 10/11, Draw 3/1, Leeds 10/3
Fulham v Leeds Predictions
This could be the game of the midweek. The only team to have beaten Fulham at Craven Cottage lately has been Tottenham in the FA Cup. Aside from that, the Cottagers have been running in fine form and have been scoring freely. Leeds are ticking over well but have taken just the one win in their last three out on the road so there could just be a crack through which the Cottagers can slip to land a win. Fulham to win.
