LiontipsLeeds vs Tottenham. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (May 8, 2021).
Command Analysis
In the last round, the Peacocks played away against Brighton. Leeds looked rather bleak in that game and deservedly lost with a score of 0:2. This defeat interrupted the six-game successful streak of Marcelo Bielsa's men. Leeds won three games: against Fulham, Sheffield United, and Manchester City, beating all three opponents with the same score 2:1. Leeds also drew with Chelsea (0:0), Liverpool (1:1), and Manchester United (0:0).
The Peacocks have moved up in the standings, although they have not been seriously competing for medals or European football this season. Marcelo Bielsa's team is in 11th place with 47 points. They are seven points behind the European competition zone, and they hardly have a chance to close that gap in the remaining four games.
Leeds are currently eighth in the Premier League in terms of home performance. In 17 home games, they won six times, lost also six times, and had five draws. In the last seven games at home, Bielsa's charges lost only to Aston Villa with a minimum score of 0:1.
Midfielders Helder Costa and Adam Forshaw will not play this time due to injuries. Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips also might sit out the game.
It looks like Tottenham benefited from the sacking of the manager Jose Mourinho. Under the leadership of Ryan Mason, Tottenham first drew with Everton (2:2), and then beat Southampton (2:1) and Sheffield United (4:0).
Before the start of this round, the Spurs occupy sixth place in the table. The London club has 56 points, two points less than West Ham and five points less than the fourth Chelsea. Liverpool and Everton are coming close, two and four points behind Tottenham, and they are ready to eliminate the North London club from the zone of the European competition. Moreover, both pursuers have games in hand.
One of the reasons for Mourinho's dismissal was Tottenham's bleak away game. The Spurs have won only three out of their last 13 away games. In general, the London club won seven times in 17 away matches this season, drew five times, and lost also five times.
Defender Ben Davis will not play for Tottenham due to injury.
