In this encounter, I expect a high-scoring game from both teams, as suggested by their statistics. Leeds United, despite not always achieving the desired results at home, has been effective in attack. In their last ten home matches in the , the team failed to score only once, and on three occasions during this period, they scored two goals. At the same time, Leeds cannot boast a reliable defense: they conceded in 7 of their last 9 home matches in the .

AFC Bournemouth, even away from home, tries to play openly and creates many chances: in their last 17 away league matches, the team left the field without scoring only once. Moreover, in 12 of these encounters, the club scored at least two goals. However, in 10 of their last 12 away matches, Bournemouth failed to keep a clean sheet.

I anticipate both teams to score in this match, so my prediction is: “Both Teams to Score – Yes”.
