Leeds United hosts Fulham in round 2 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 19th at Elland Road (Leeds)
Marcelo Bielsa's team started the new season quite cheerfully. First, the Peacocks lost to Liverpool in a fierce struggle at Anfield (4:3), and then Leeds managed to save itself in regulation time of the English Cup home match with Hull (1-1), but the hosts lost in the penalty shootout. In general, the new season is not easy for the Peacocks so far, and there are a lot of mistakes in defense, although the attacking game of the Argentine coach is well-adjusted. And the hosts can score their goal to the net of Fulham, which has obvious problems in defense. Forshaw and Birardi will not play for the hosts.

The Cottagers also did not show a good start in the Premier League after a year's absence in it. At home, they lost to the holder of the FA Cup and Super Cup Arsenal with no options (0:3). Parker's men didn’t manage to use their rare attempts, and as usual, they were not reliable in defense. Another thing is that they managed to partially rehabilitate themselves in the English League Cup, where they defeated Ipswich away (1-0). Now Fulham will go to Leeds to rectify the situation of the first round. The team's infirmary is empty.
It's funny, but teams crossed their paths twice in the last Championship and both managed to promote to the Premier League. Leeds was stronger at home (3:0), while Fulham took revenge in London (2-1). Currently, several factors speak in favor of “Both teams to score – yes”. Both teams will not recover in full after the English League Cup matches, which will lead to reduced concentration in defense. Beyond that, we will note that the attacking lines of the teams look much more interesting than their defensive orders, so “Both teams to score – yes” is quite a good choice for this match.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes
