Leeds United Preview – Will the Whites build on Palace success?

Leeds United impressed on their Premier League return after winning the 2019-20 EFL Championship, finishing in ninth place on 59 points last season. However, the Yorkshire club have struggled to get going this term.

Leeds have picked up just three wins from their opening 14 matches, drawing six and losing five of the other 11. Nonetheless, they did manage to secure a crucial three points last time out, with a late Raphinha penalty giving United a priceless 1-0 home victory over Crystal Palace.

Our betting prediction:
Both teams to score – No
19/20

Leeds will be desperate to follow up the midweek triumph with another win here. Being the home team, United will back themselves to get the job done, and the Whites are the favourites with the bookies at 19/20.

Brentford Preview – Can the Bees leave Yorkshire with a positive result?

Thomas Frank’s Brentford, who won the Championship play-offs last term, made a stunning start to life in the Premier League. After seven matches, the Bees picked up three wins, drew three times and were beaten just once.

However, after scoring late to claim an outstanding win at West Ham United in early October, Brentford’s form has dipped. They have gone on to lost five of the following seven in the Premier League to drop down to 12th. After a draw with Newcastle United and win over Everton, the Bees lost at Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.
