Leeds United - Southampton betting tips and odds

Leeds United are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Southampton. The odds of 2.36 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The Saints will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 3.25 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

The top online bookmakers didn’t give The Peacocks much of a shot at winning their previous away match against Wolverhampton Wanderers – and they were right. Still, they maintained an even score until the second half and only lost by a 1-goal difference (1:0). This wasn’t a terrible performance considering the 3.25 odds on an away win at kick-off.

Southampton are here on the back of a tie with Chelsea in the last round. Despite the 1:1 score in a home game, they performed above expectations by ending the first half ahead in a game which was heavily skewed against them.

Leeds have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Tuesday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.68 if you use the 10Bet sportsbook.
