Leeds vs. Man City Betting Tips: 9/1 shot highlighted for Wednesday's match
Live on Prime Video, Leeds host Manchester City in the Premier League this Wednesday night (8pm) at Elland Road.
Tipster Wizard is on hand to preview the match and highlight his two best bets...
Leeds sit 15th in the league table with 15 points, just 2 points above the relegation zone with two games in hand on four of the five teams below them.
Jesse Marsch's men were in decent form before the World Cup break, winning two of their last three league games including a shock 2-1 win against Liverpool at Anfield.
They were also involved in a 7-goal thriller against Tottenham right before the World Cup but could not hold on for their third league win in a row.
Visitors Manchester City sit 3rd in the league table with 32 points, now 8 behind league leaders Arsenal who beat West Ham on Monday.
Pep Guardiola’s men will be looking to close the gap to 5 points with a win and having won five of their last six games in all competitions, they are in fine form.
Leeds could be without up to 11 players due to injuries and suspensions which is not good news when you are up against a highly motivated Manchester City side.
Head-to-head games between these sides have seen a lot of goals in recent history, with a mammoth 14 goals coming in their last three league meetings. Based on recent stats, another goal-fest here is certainly not out of the question.
A game of huge significance awaits us, and as usual I have you covered with 2 of my best betting angles below:
Team News:
Leeds have a long list of players who could potentially miss this game as Archie Gray, Stuart Dallas & Tyler Adams are out and Meslier, Liam Cooper, Rodrigo, Sinisterra, Summerville, Klich, Bamford & Harrison are doubtful.
Ruben Dias & Julian Alvarez are out for Manchester City while Kalvin Phillips is doubtful.
Leeds possible starting lineup:
Klaesson; Kristensen, Cooper, Koch, Struijk; Roca, Forshaw; Aaronson, Rodrigo, Harrison; Gelhardt
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Akanji, Cancelo; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; B. Silva, Haaland, Foden
Leeds vs Man City Tips
Bet Builder Selections:
- Over 0 goals in the 1st half for Man City
- Over 0 goals in the 2nd half for Man City
As I mentioned above, Leeds United have an injury crisis with a lot of key players doubtful for this game and important midfielder Tyler Adams suspended.
Manchester City did the double over them last season winning 4-0 and 7-0, scoring in both halves in both meetings.
Leeds have conceded 13 goals in their last five games at an average of 2.6 goals per game with the likes of Bournemouth and Fulham both scoring three goals against them here at Elland Road, also scoring at least one goal in each half.
A City side heavily motivated to get back to the top of the league table should prove too strong for them and I see good value in Man City scoring at least once in each half @ 4/5.
Take this with a 1pt stake as a Bet Builder so you can add the 25% winnings boost offered by bet365.
Rasmus Kristensen averages the second most fouls for Leeds after Tyler Adams who is suspended for this clash.
He is their most booked player with four yellow cards awarded to his name in just 12 appearances.
He will likely be up against Phil Foden and will have to tackle Jack Grealish later on in the game who will be expected to come on at some stage in the 2nd half.
As for the 2nd selection, Kevin De Bruyne is the leading assist provider in the Premier League this season with 9 assists in just 12 starts.
He also provided 2 assists to Erling Haaland against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup this past Thursday.
He has created the most big chances in the league this season (14), 6 more than Bruno Fernandes who is 2nd in the list.
Combining these two selections gives us a cracking longshot @ 9/1 and I am happy to stake a small 0.25pt on that as my 2nd bet for this game.
Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
