Leeds United

Leeds United’s Recent Form

Daniel Farke’s squad shared the spoils with Bournemouth in their last home fixture, which ended in a 2:2 draw. Nevertheless, the Premier League newcomer has now avoided defeat in four of their six matches this season (recording 2 wins and 2 draws). Additionally, Leeds has found the net at least twice in their last two consecutive Premier League outings. The club has amassed eight points, placing them in 12th position in the league standings.

Key Leeds Statistics

• A minimum of three goals has been scored in 7 of the club’s last 10 home league encounters.

Leeds Injury Update

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur’s Current Form

In their last match, Thomas Frank’s squad unexpectedly dropped points at home against Wolverhampton, drawing 1:1. Tottenham even risked a defeat but managed to equalize in injury time. As a result, the team has failed to secure a victory in three of their last four Premier League fixtures (2 draws, 1 defeat). Notably, the London club is among only three teams that have yet to lose an away game in the current championship. Tottenham currently occupies fourth place in the league table with 11 points.

Match Prediction: Leeds vs Tottenham

Leeds’ Offensive and Defensive Strengths at Home

From the home side, I anticipate a strong attacking performance, particularly at their stadium. Leeds has demonstrated a consistent ability to score at home, finding the net in all but one of their last 11 Premier League home fixtures. However, the team’s defensive reliability is questionable; they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 8 of their last 10 home matches.

Tottenham’s Away Form and Goal-scoring Prowess

Tottenham’s away results show some inconsistency, yet the team consistently demonstrates strong attacking output. In their last 13 away Premier League fixtures, the London side failed to score in only three games, and they netted at least two goals in seven of those encounters. Conversely, the club’s defensive solidity on the road is less convincing, with Tottenham keeping just two clean sheets in their last ten away league matches.

Final Betting Tip

I anticipate effective attacking play from both sides in this encounter. Therefore, my prediction is: “Both Teams to Score – Yes” with odds of 1.73
