This Saturday, Premier League Round 7 features a match at Elland Road, where Leeds United will take on Tottenham Hotspur. A bet on the outcome of this game looks promising.
Match preview
Daniel Farke’s squad is finding its feet in the Premier League, demonstrating resilience even in difficult matches. After drawing with Bournemouth, Leeds have now earned eight points, and their attacking unit has scored two goals in each of the last two games.
However, they struggle at home: Leeds have a hard time winning at Elland Road, and defensive mistakes are a recurring issue, allowing opponents to take advantage. The absence of first-choice goalkeeper Lucas Perry due to injury further weakens their defense.
Meanwhile, Tottenham has faced some early-season challenges with a three-match winless streak, though they remain in the top four. In their last game, they only just avoided defeat against Wolverhampton, showcasing persistent defensive problems.
The Spurs usually play with confidence away from home, but they don’t often score a lot, though they manage to find the net regularly. With key attackers like Kolo Muani, Solanke, and Kulusevski out, the manager is relying on the adaptability of Kudus and Simons, which could be crucial in this match.
Probable lineups
- Leeds: Darlow, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Longstaff, Aaronson, Stach, Calvert-Lewin, Okafor
- Tottenham: Vicario, Udogie, Romero, van de Ven, Spence, Palhinha, Bergvall, Bentancur, Kudus, Richarlison, Simons
Match facts and head-to-head
- In 7 of Leeds’ last 10 home Premier League matches, at least three goals have been scored.
- Tottenham is unbeaten away from home this season in the Premier League.
- Both teams have scored in their last five head-to-head meetings.
Prediction
Leeds aims to secure a mid-table position, while Tottenham seeks to maintain their Champions League spot. With shaky defenses on both sides but capable attacks, an open game with goals from both teams is likely. The recommendation is to bet on “Both teams to score” at odds of 1.73.
