2.75Tip and bets
Leeds are in a fierce battle for a direct ticket to the Premier League and in the conditions of such tough competition have no right to make a mistake. Today the Whites, without a doubt, will be maximally motivated and it is quite realistic to set maximum tasks for themselves - Sheffield Wednesday are seriously inferior in class, have been making a lot of mistakes in defense lately, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts in such a situation, today Leeds are stronger in all respects.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Leeds . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.05
Bet on total
Leeds will play only for victory today and will probably attack with a large force from the first minutes. The Whites score a lot at home and regularly, it is unlikely that the visitors' defense has a real chance to play to zero. At the same time, Sheffield Wednesday does not have serious responsibility for the result, the owls are distinguished by excellent implementation and often play adventurously - in the last seven matches they managed to score, and today the visitors will probably respond with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.07
Bet on corners
Leeds are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the hosts should win with a margin on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Leeds. This bet is offered at 1.71
