Fulham v Leeds United, Sky Bet Championship (1945 BST, Sky Sports Main Event)
Fulham welcome Leeds United to Craven Cottage on Tuesday night as they look to try and close the gap on Cardiff City in second.
Another good season for Slavisa Jokanovic's men sees them in the play-off places again and they'll be hopeful of promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season.
For Leeds, it's the familiar feeling of disappointment for the Elland Road faithful as they find themselves a fair distance away from the play-offs, and they'll most likely being looking for another summer of building.
They've won just two games in 2018, both of those coming at home, and haven't won an away game since the victory over Burton Albion on Boxing Day.
Unsurprisingly, Paul Heckingbottom's side are 13/2 outsiders for victory, with Fulham available at the biggest price of 1/2.
Ryan Sessegnon sits as Fulham's top goalscorer with 14 goals in the Sky Bet Championship this season. He's adapted to life in a more advanced role on the left wing and has proved to be crucial for his team.
The 17-year-old wonderkid can be found at 28/17 to strike anytime against a Leeds side who have conceded 21 goals in their last 10 league games, more than any other side in the division.
Sessegnon could be a good bet for this one, but for me I'd be looking at another potential goalscorer on Tuesday night.
Tom Cairney has proved to be a nuisance for Leeds in recent years. The Scottish international is a former product of the West Yorkshire club's youth academy, but was released aged 16.
Since then, along with Norwich, Cairney has scored more goals against Leeds than any other club he has come up against. In nine games, the midfielder has found the net on four occasions, assisting a further two.
He's available at 8/1 to find the net when the two sides meet again, and at that price looks the best bet for the match given the history.
Not only that, he's also scored in three of his last four games so has obviously hit real goal-scoring form in recent weeks.
There could be value in corners, too, given the number that Leeds have seen in recent weeks. In their last five games, United have had an average of 15.6 corners (for/against) and that includes a huge 20 in their 2-2 with Reading in early March.
The last three meetings between these two teams at Craven Cottage has seen an average of 11.3, so it could be worth looking at the corners market.
Over 11.5 corners is available at 13/8, which seems a fairly big price given that's well below Leeds' recent average.
Score prediction: Fulham 3-1 Leeds (Sky Bet odds: 10/1)
Best bet: Tom Cairney to score anytime at 8/1
Alternative bet: Over 11.5 corners at 13/8
