Leeds United - Stoke City predictions

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Leeds United. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

Considering what they’re up against, Stoke City can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 11.00 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The Peacocks were on an away match at Oxford United last round and brought home three points after a solid performance throughout the match. It may have been close at 0:1, but an away win always sends a clear message.

Stoke performed admirably in their previous Championship match – though their success was not exactly a surprise. They were tagged as favourites – though not by a large margin – and played on home turf, so the odds were stacked against their opponents Sheffield Wednesday.

Leeds’s attackers have been seeing a lot of success lately, even in away matches. For instance, they scored 6 times during the course of their previous three away games.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

The two teams already met this season in the Championship, with The Whites taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 1xbet priced at 1 odds.
