Expert Betting Tips

Leeds United will be especially motivated for the upcoming match. In the last two home matches the Whites were defeated by Leicester City. Leeds will try not to allow a repeat of the bad result in front of the home fans. At the moment Leeds United have a good chance to achieve a positive outcome, as Leicester City are far from their best form. I expect quite a tense match between the teams and I suggest paying attention to Marcelo Bielsa's team stats on yellow cards. My main prediction - a yellow card until the 32nd minute. In many episodes the players will act quite tough and often commit fouls. I also expect a lot of goals scored at Elland Road.
