There is Friday night English Premier League action for punters to get stuck into and we take a look at the Fulham v Leeds game from a betting angle.
Fulham are occupying the final relegation spot and they sit in 18th place, 3 points shy of safety. They lost 3-0 at home to Manchester City last time out, but previously beat Liverpool on the road.
They have lost back-to-back home games now, but both the games top half opposition, but they have certainly been better on the road taking 6 more points that they have been able to pick up at home.
An interesting stat on Fulham’s recent EPL matches is that in the last 5 games only 1 or no teams have found the back of the net. Fulham home games have generally been low scoring, averaging 1.9 goals each and had you being playing over 2.5 goals in all 15 of their home matches you would have only made profits in 6 of the games.
Leeds are 12th on the table without a win in their last 3 matches during in which time they have taken just 1 point. That came at home against Chelsea last time out when they played out a goalless draw and prior to that they lost 2-0 away at West Ham and 1-0 at home to Villa.
They have yet to play a draw in 14 away matches this season winning 6 and losing 8, but they have lost their last 3 away games in succession. Leeds away games remain the highest scoring in the Division, averaging 3.8 goals each despite the fact that the last 2 matches have delivered for under 2.5 goal backers. Overall though 10 of the 14 League matches would have seen those backing over 2.5 goals collect a profit. Interestingly Leeds last 5 EPL matches have also seen 1 or none of the teams find the back of the net.

Fulham 31/20
Draw 12/5
Leeds 37/20
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, NO, at 1/1
This jumps out based on the recent form of both sides and if I was pushed to pick a winner of the match, I would go with Leeds at 37/20 as Fulham’s home form has generally been poor.
