Fulham vs Leeds Prediction: New arrival offers value

Fulham were absolutely robbed in their west London derby with Chelsea before the international break, as Josh King’s disallowed goal shone the spotlight on VAR once again. They will hope to get back to winning ways as they welcome Leeds United to Craven Cottage (15:00).

Daniel Farke’s men have picked up four points so far, all at Elland Road, so they will be hopeful of getting off the mark on the road. Below you can find my Fulham vs Leeds predictions. 

Team News

Marco Silva must choose how to approach this home game, having utilised Timothy Castagne as a right midfielder against both Manchester United and Chelsea. Given Fulham are the favourites here, we may see Harry Wilson return to the starting XI on the right wing, with Kenny Tete the number one choice at right-back. 

At left-back, Antonee Robinson is back fit and should replace Ryan Sessegnon with Calvin Bassey and Joachim Andersen set to start at centre-back. Kevin, Samuel Chukwueze and Jonah Kusi-Asare were all deadline day arrivals, but they may be placed on the bench as they get to grips with their new surroundings. 

Football Odds

For Farke, Karl Darlow is expected to replace the injured Lucas Perri, who picked up a thigh issue against Newcastle and has been ruled out. On a positive note, the manager confirmed that Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka were back in training, and Sam Byram and Joe Rodon are both available for selection this weekend. 

On the striker situation, Farke said: “Lukas Nmecha got a hit on his foot and missed training yesterday. Joel Piroe also got hit in his calf and has a big bruise. We’ll have to wait to see how he reacts in the next 48 hours.” If both are ruled out, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line, supported by Dan James and Willy Gnonto from the wide positions.

Fulham vs Leeds Odds

Fulham are priced at 1/1 to win this game, giving them an implied win probability of 50% heading into this Saturday fixture. Leeds are available at 3/1, while a draw is 5/2, so the odds are in the home team’s favour. 

Over 2.5 goals is 1/1, BTTS is 4/5 and Raul Jimenez is the favourite to score first at 9/2, along with Rodrigo Muniz. 

Fulham to win @ 1/1

I rate Farke a lot higher than most, and think he can be a success at Leeds this season, but they are likely to rely on their home form to keep them up. On the road, they were torn apart by Arsenal (5-0), but for the first half an hour of that game they were competitive, and they will hope to get off the mark here. 

However, although they travel to a winless Fulham, the Cottagers should have more points on the board. They drew with Brighton, could have beaten Manchester United and then should have beaten Chelsea last time out. With the new additions, there is enough here to suggest that they are in for another decent campaign. With the new attackers and Leeds potentially missing a few at the top end of the pitch, I will back the home team to get their first win. 

Kevin (FUL) to score last @ 9/1

Fulham made quite the statement this summer as they spent a club-record fee of £34.6m on Kevin. The 22-year-old Brazilian has been impressing at Shakhtar Donetsk, especially at the start of this season in the Europa League qualifiers, and he’s registered five goals in five games in 2025/26. 

I can’t see him being thrown straight into the starting XI, but you don’t spend that money on a winger if you don’t think he can play a major role in the team moving forward. I can see him making his debut off the bench, and he is likely to get plenty of shooting opportunities against this Leeds defence. He scored nine goals in 35 in all competitions last season, so I believe the 9/1 selection on him to score last offers great value.
