Leeds v Leicester predictions and betting tips brought to you by football expert Tom Love.
Leeds vs Leicester
Who will emerge triumphant, Bielsa or Rodgers?
- Leeds have lost just one of their last 5 games
- Leicester have lost 2 of their last 3 Premier League games in this zero
- Leeds have conceded just 2 goals in their last 4 matches
TIP: Leeds +0 Asian Handicap
A fascinating game awaits us on Monday night when Leeds Premier League new boys welcome Leicester to Elland Road. Marcelo Bielsa has seen his team adapt to the top flight with real class and could be on track to finish in the top half.
Bielsa's teams are notoriously underpowered due to the number of runs they make, they have suffered from exhaustion many times in the past, but obviously there are fewer games in the top league compared to the championship, they also have no European commitments to help them. .
Leicester, on the other hand, were in Greece on Thursday as they are competing in the Europa League this season. Brendan Rodgers left with a very strong team in Athens and will play again against Braga this Thursday, so he has a lot of games ahead.
Bettors cannot split the two in bets and this brings the risk start with the Asian handicap on the line and I'm inclined to lead the hosts in that. It's effectively the same as backing Leeds with a “draw no bet”, so our bets will be returned if it ends in a draw, but we'll have a win if Leeds get all three points.
