Man United vs. Leeds United Betting Preview
Man United
There is certainly a feel-good mood around Old Trafford at present, as Erik ten Hag has done an excellent job of steering United into the top four with ease. A Manchester United prediction to finish in the top four would now be an odds-on chance, which would have been unthinkable just over 12 months ago.
The Red Devils may also still have a role to play in the title race, as United are just eight points off the top of the standings, and could end next weekend just two points off Arsenal, depending on other results.
United was professional in their previous fixture, as they landed a 2-1 home win over Crystal Palace. Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford netting the goals, as United won a 13th straight game at Old Trafford for the first time since 2011. However, Casemiro was sent off with 20 minutes remaining, and as a result, the influential Brazilian will be absent for the next three United matches. The Red Devils will also be without Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen, and Donny van de Beek for the fixture on Wednesday.
Leeds United
The Leeds United stats don’t make for pleasant reading for Jesse Marsch, as the Whites sit 17th in the Premier League standings and have gone six league matches without a victory. Leeds has particularly struggled on the road this term, as they have landed just a single win from ten games away from Elland Road.
There was more misery on the road for Leeds over the weekend, as they were beaten 1-0 at the City Ground by Nottingham Forest. They now remain outside of the bottom three courtesy of their superior goal difference over Everton. However, only the bottom two teams positioned 15th and below have conceded more goals than Leeds this term.
The stats certainly don’t offer much confidence for this fixture, as Leeds are winless in 17 previous visits to Old Trafford, and have conceded 15 goals against United since returning to the Premier League in 2020. Rodrigo Moreno, Stuart Dallas, and Adam Forshaw remain long-term absentees for the Whites.
Man United vs. Leeds United Betting Picks
The Man United vs Leeds United odds don’t lie for this fixture. It is incredibly hard to ignore United’s excellent recent run of form at Old Trafford, while Leeds hasn’t won away against their rivals since 1981. United has also lost just once in 17 previous league meetings against the Whites, with that coming in the form of a 1-0 loss at Elland Road in 2002.
It looks hard to ignore the dominant Red Devils on Wednesday evening, and while we see Leeds causing United issues defensively, we think that Man United claiming the three points is almost a formality. That being said, the best value selection may be a win for the Red Devils and both teams to score at +200.
Pick: Man United & Both Teams To Score (+200)
