LEEDS UNITED VS MANCHESTER UNITED: BETTING TIPS
LEEDS UNITED
Leeds United are currently occupying 15th place in the premier league, just six points above the relegation zone. This season Leeds have not enjoyed the best of times as they are finding it difficult to keep their opponents from scoring, having become the second most scored against team (46) in the Premier League. Marcelo Bielsa has come under scrutiny after refusing to change tactics, and uncertainty is setting in on his future at the clubs as the board are yet to offer the Argentinian a new contract.
Patrick Bamford’s lengthy injury continues to worry Leeds fans as they lack the cutting edge in front of goal, which has cost them in recent games. Also, with Dallas a doubt for the game on Sunday, Bielsa might want to get Junior Firpo a start.
In the reverse fixture at Old Trafford, Leeds conceded five goals and lost the game 5-1. The Whites will be hoping to fare better against their old rivals on Sunday.
Daniel James anytime goalscorer is at 16/5 (4.20).
Both teams to score in the match is valued at 5/9 (1.55).
MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United clawed their way back into the top four with a win against Brighton and Hove Albion (2-0) on Tuesday night. This result comes after back-to-back 1-1 draws against bottom side Burnely and more recently against Southampton. The Red Devils will be hoping to get another three points at Elland Road to maintain their position in the league and build confidence ahead of a Champions League encounter against Atletico Madrid.
With the talent that Manchester United has and the potential of their stars to perform, fighting for fourth place in the league is a clear indication that something is off. Interim manager Ralf Ragnick was appointed to steady the ship until the end of the season when a new long-term manager would be appointed, but such a decision seems to have added to the trouble within the squad.
Defensively, United have struggled to find their ideal partnership with club captain Harry Maguire continuing to draw the attention of his critics with underwhelming performances week after week. Manchester United’s fans will be hoping that they can muster a clean sheet against a squad that has struggled to find the net.
A victory for the home side of 2-0 is at 10/1 (11.0).
Cristiano Ronaldo anytime goalscorer is at 5/4 (2.25).
