Salford vs Leeds Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the English Carabao Cup on Tuesday, 29 August 2023.
Salford are set to face Leeds in the second round of the League Cup at Peninsula Stadium. Salford enter the contest following a string of uneven League Two performances. The Ammies, following a 2-2 draw, overcame Preston North End on penalties in the previous round.
Their opponents, Leeds, come into the game with a couple of improved Championship outcomes and overcame Shrewsbury Town 2-1 in the last round.
These two teams have only met once, in August 2019. Leeds won 3-0 on that day.
We are counting on Leeds to pull off a win here. They have a respectable form heading into this one. Two of their past four matches have ended in wins, the most recent of which saw them score four goals.
Salford, on the other hand, are currently struggling for form. They have lost two of their last three matches.
Furthermore, Leeds belongs to the Championship, which is far superior to League Two.
We expect goals in this match. In both of Salford’s last two matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, three of Leeds’s past five matches have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, the only h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record in recent weeks. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their past five matches. While the visitors also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last five matches.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
Leeds play in the Championship, which is significantly stronger than League Two, and they are in good form going into the game. They’ve won two of their last four matches. They also have a solid record against Salford. Furthermore, Salford has had a mediocre form going into the match.
A victory for Leeds at 1.72 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Going on, Leeds has now scored five goals in the last two matches. Meanwhile, Salford has also demonstrated defensive flaws and conceded two or more goals in each of their last three matches. Therefore, over 1.5 team goals by Leeds would be a great pick at 1.66 odd.
