Fulham hosts Leeds United in the EFL Cup 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 21st at Craven Cottage (London)
Fulham has written the same script twice in recent years. The Cottagers made it to the Premier League with difficulties but returned to the Championship a year later. Last season was already quite good compared to the last attempt. Under the management of Scott Parker, the modest London club was able to keep the intrigue for quite a long time. But the denouement was still unfortunate for him. Well, the Cottagers start the new championship with the already familiar task. Now they are headed by Silva. And so far, the Portuguese with a controversial reputation is doing quite well. However, Fulham suffered a 1-2 from Reading on the weekend and lost first place.

In recent years, Leeds United gave mostly positive emotions to their fans. At first, Bielsa was able to shake up a glorious and popular club, giving hope for a renaissance. And then the Peacocks convincingly won the argument for the right to be promoted to the Premier League. At a new level for himself and many of his players, Marcelo continued to be himself: he stood pat and often surprised with his decisions but discovered new names and achieved good success. A new challenge for the Argentine should be the second season in the elite. And the Whites started it, frankly speaking, unsuccessfully. Despite an early goal, the match against Newcastle ended in a 1-1 draw. Against the general background, the blowout was the romp of Crewe Alexandra that happened in the previous round of the League Cup.
Fulham had a long and successful streak in head-to-head matches against Leeds. But Bielsa gradually changed this too. At the moment, the Whites have a streak of three victories in a row. Fulham seems to be a well-prepared team. Leeds concedes Whites a lot, but they definitely want to vindicate themselves in the cup. We bet on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
