Manchester United vs Leeds Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in English Premier League on Wednesday, 8 February 2023.
Third-placed Manchester United have a huge opportunity coming up. Both the toppers Arsenal and City lost their league games the last game week, and this is the time to pounce for the Red Devils.
And it helps their cause that they are pitted against the struggling Leeds. They are placed 17th in the table, hanging by a thread over the relegation cut-off.
The latest encounter ended in a 2-4 win on the road for Erik ten Hag’s men, and they also won four of the past five clashes. In fact, it has been more than 20 years since Leeds recorded a win in a league fixture.
And not once have they managed to win at this venue in a league game going back to 1990.
The Red Devils are currently one of the contenders to secure a podium finish, and if they are able to take advantage of the points dropped by the two toppers – they could even make a title-charge.
On top of that they have a dominant h2h record against this opponent over the years, and are also at home.
Meanwhile, Leeds are one of the few teams to have remained winless in the last five games in the PL, and they are placed 17th in a table of 20. Moreover, they have a single win to their name on the road all through this league season.
Surely expect hosts Manchester United to have a huge upper hand this Wednesday.
Three of the last four h2h clashes had six or more goals, while the Devils scored twice or more in their last ten home appearances in a row.
At the same time, 10 of the past 14 games of Leeds had three or more goals, and they have also been one of the most defensively weak sides in the PL for quite some time now.
Likely, chances are quite high for goals to come in plenty this game week.
Erik ten Hag’s men conceded just six goals from their past 15 fixtures at home, while Leeds failed to find the back of the net in two of their past three road trips.
The kind of form Manchester United are in right now, it would be unwise to bet on them conceding a goal.
The Devils are going for the title at this point, and are placed third in the table as of now. They lost just once at home all through the campaign, and are the only team in the whole competition to have won 100% of their last five home fixtures.
On top of that they have a phenomenal h2h record against this rival over the past two decades, and particularly so at this venue.
On the other hand, Leeds are battling relegation, and have a 100% winless record on the road – disregarding a single fixture.
As such, a huge win is expected for hosts Manchester United this Wednesday at their home. A -1.5 Asian Handicap on them would be a good pick, at an odd of 2.40.
