2.60Tip and bets
The hosts have gained excellent form and are beating one opponent after another. The team intends to continue their winning streak and increase their lead over their competitors. At the same time, the visitors are currently on the decline, so it is hard to expect a feat from them in this match. Most likely, there will be no sensation here, and we will see a confident victory from the championship leader.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Leeds for 1.57
Bet on total
The hosts have shown excellent defensive play in recent matches and have not conceded a single goal in the last three matches. The team may well continue its dry streak, and the visitors have managed to score in only one of the last three matches. It is also worth noting that in none of the last three face-to-face matches were more than two goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.98
Bet on corners
Leeds are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on corners for Leeds at 1.75
