Recent respective form guides

Leeds United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Whites have scored 6, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Fulham's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Cottagers's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 7 against.

Leeds Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclaycard Premiership with a return of just 12 points from their 15 games thus far. Fulham sit in a healthy 4th in the league, and have picked up 25 points from their 15 games.
