Leeds News and Form
Leeds collected 1-0 win out at Hull in midweek and that saw them hang on to top spot in the Championship ahead of Middlesbrough on goal difference. Leeds are W6 D4 L1 overall this term in the Championship and each of their last four wins have been with a clean sheet as well. Leeds to win to nil is at 7/2 odds* (betting odds taken on October 4th, 2018 at 5:21 pm). They have a solid W3 D1 L1 record at home this season in the division.
The loss was in their last home fixture, a shock reverse against Birmingham. They are going through a bit of a tough time with so many key players out injured. 9 of their last 10 games against Brentford have produced less than three goals. Under 2.5 goals is at 11/10* (betting odds taken on October 4th, 2018 at 5:21 pm) for this one. Leeds are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 Championship games.
Brentford News and Form
The Bees haven’t done too badly this season really with a W4 D5 L2 record but they are without a win in four now (D3 L1) so their form has started to slip a bit. They could be refreshed a bit with Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma coming back into the side. This isn’t an easy road game especially as they are yet to claim a win on the road this term. The Bees are D3 L2 away from home.
Brentford have been scoring well this season and have netted in all but one of their league outings. You are looking at 4/7 on the both teams to score option* (betting odds taken on October 4th, 2018 at 5:21 pm) in this one. Brentford have netted the opening goal in almost 75% of their games this season. Their away form has let down their positive home form though.
Leeds v Brentford Head to Head
