[(Fulham F.C.) Neutral]:
1. Fulham F.C. conceded 5 goals in the last 5 games. Although their defensive performance has shown some improvement compared to earlier in the season, there is still significant room for growth, and further reinforcements in their defensive solidity are needed.

[(Fulham F.C.) Weakness]:
1. Fulham F.C. are currently missing multiple starters due to international call-ups, including Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Samuel Chukwueze. Their absence has inevitably impacted the team's overall strength in both attack and defense.

[Tips]:
Although a recent cup victory offered Leeds United some relief from their winless league run, their home offense has seen a resurgence with 12 goals scored in the last five matches.

Their ability to pick up points at Elland Road remains respectable.

However, with 37 goals conceded over 21 league rounds, their defensive vulnerabilities remain a major concern.

Furthermore, they hold a clear historical disadvantage, recording only 5 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses in their last 21 encounters with Fulham F.C.

In contrast, Fulham F.C. are enjoying success on both the Cup and the league, and are currently in fine form with a six-match unbeaten streak.

Their attack has been consistently productive, scoring 9 goals in the last five games, while their defense has shown significant improvement despite still having room for growth.

Their away form is particularly impressive, securing 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five road trips, with a stellar 60% win rate.

Taking into account recent form, tactical stability at both ends of the pitch, and head-to-head records, Fulham are expected to remain unbeaten in this match.

[Recommended]:
Fulham F.C. (+0/0.5)
