Betting on Leeds United
Leeds is struggling with form after eight straight games without a victory. Despite a draw on the road against Manchester, the Whites have only won 19 points in 21 games played and is currently sitting in 16th place in the league table, just one point above Everton in the Championship relegation spots.
Since Matchday 15, the team, under interim coach Michael Skubala following Jesse Marsch’s departure, has recorded four draws and four losses, with 12 goals conceded and seven scored. It’s worth noting that Leeds is the fourth team with the most conceded goals this year, with 36.
In terms of their home performance, Leeds have gone three games without a win in front of their fans and have only collected 13 points in 10 home games played.
Possible Leeds lineup (4-2-3-1): Illan Meslier; Robin Koch, Luke Ayling, Maximilian Wöber, Pascal Struijk; Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams; Crysencio Summerville, Jack Harrison, Wilfried Gnonto; Patrick Bamford.
Betting on Manchester United
Manchester United may have been disappointed with the home draw against Leeds, but there was a positive aspect to the game: the team’s ability to overcome a two-goal deficit in the early stages of the second half.
Under coach Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils demonstrated why they are one of the strongest teams in the Premier League by extending their unbeaten streak at home to 11 games.
Manchester United remains third in the standings with 43 points and is in a secure position for a Champions League spot. Although they trail Arsenal by seven points for the top spot, the Gunners have two games in hand.
When it comes to Manchester United’s road performance, they are the sixth-best club in the league with 17 points from 11 away games. However, they need to improve their defense, as they are the fifth team with the most conceded goals on the road, with 20.
Possible Manchester United lineup (4-2-3-1): David De Gea; Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martínez, Luke Shaw; Fred, Marcel Sabitzer; Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Wout Weghorst.
JefeBet Prediction
Just like the match on Wednesday, Sunday’s game is expected to be filled with excitement and goals. Leeds have managed to score at least one goal in seven of their 10 home games this season, while Manchester United is one of the clubs that concede the most goals on the road.
This trend is reflected in the overall statistics of the season, with Manchester United being the fifth team in the Premier League with the most goals scored, and Leeds being the fourth team with the most goals conceded.
When it comes to head-to-head encounters, four of the last five matches have seen both teams score, and six of the last seven have had at least three goals.
