Manchester United vs. Leeds: preview and betting tips

Manchester United welcome Leeds United to their stand on Wednesday. The visitors will be without coach Jesse Marsch, who was sacked after the loss to Nottingham. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Manchester United are very comfortable, having won 11 of their last 13 competitive games, including the city derby with the Citizens. They are third in the table, three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham with a game to spare. In addition, they are in the final of the Carabao Cup.

Leeds, on the other hand, have not won in the league since the break for the World Cup in Qatar, the streak now stands at seven games. In the table, The Whites have dropped to 17th place, only a score above relegated Everton.

Manchester City’s key figures

Marcus Rashford is firing in the home jersey, the English striker has scored 19 goals and assisted eight times. Luke Shaw is also doing well, scoring once and assisting on two goals, he is reliable at full-back and stopper.

Leeds key figures

Italian talent Wilfried Gnonto is catching on for the away side, with the skilful dribbler scoring five times and assisting twice. Spanish international Rodrigo has even split the net on 12 occasions and assisted on two goals.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Manchester rely on their goal attack, with 34 shots they have the sixth best in the league. He could be doing much better were it not for a poor start to the season, striking more than once in 11 of the last 13 games.

Ironically, Leeds have conceded as many goals as Manchester have scored. Only four clubs have scored more times than Leeds (34). Furthermore, away from home they have kept a clean sheet in only one of their 13 games, namely at Newcastle.

Considering Manchester’s good form, the strength of Old Trafford, where they have already beaten Arsenal and Manchester City this season, and the poor disposition of the Leeds squad, I think the home side will win.
