Manchester United vs. Leeds United picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester United 3, Leeds United 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Man U has been so dominant at home, winning their last 6 EPL home matches, that the moneyline isn’t worth playing. On the other side, Leeds just fired their manager, Jesse Marsch, and isn’t worth taking a small play on.

Ultimately, these odds are justified, but just overall unplayable.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-155).

The value here isn’t great, so I also wouldn’t hate the reasoning to suggest an Over 3.5 (+155).

Man U has scored at least 2 goals in their last 10 home matches throughout all competitions. They have scored at least 3 goals in 2 of their last 4 league games and at least 2 in all 4. They have gone Over 2.5 in all 4 of those. They have gone Over in 7 of 10 home matches.

Leeds, on the other hand, has a flawed defense yet has scored a goal in 6 of their 10 road matches. They have also allowed at least 2 goals in 6 of those 10.

The combination of the electric Man U attack, struggling Leeds defense and reasonably competent Leeds attack, back the OVER 2.5 (-155) and consider the Over 3.5 (+155).

Liverpool at Leeds United odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Liverpool at Leeds United odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Following an action-packed Saturday, Liverpool (2 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) travels to take on Leeds United (0-1-2) Sunday. The match will be held at Elland Road with kickoff set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Liverpool vs. Leeds United odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

After a week off, Liverpool should be primed to get back to its pre-Chelsea form. It had a frustrating 1-1 draw with Chelsea after its opponent had a first-half red card. Liverpool took down Burnley and Norwich City in impressive fashion to start the season.

With Leeds near the bottom of the table, this should be an easy match for Liverpool; however, Leeds’ only loss was to Manchester United. It drew both Burnley and Everton and scored in all three matches.

Prediction

Liverpool 3, Leeds United 1

Money line (ML)

BET on LIVERPOOL (-140) as it has looked like one of the best teams in the EPL. Liverpool against Chelsea was a high-level match between two of the better sides.

A 1-1 draw may have dropped Liverpool from the top spot in the table, but the talent is still there, especially with M Mohamed Salah. Liverpool also has arguably the best defender in the EPL with D Virgil van Dijk.

Burnley and Norwich are among the bottom five teams in the EPL but Leeds is there as well. Eith Leeds having given up 5 goals to Man U to kick off the season, expect a strong Liverpool attack to thrive.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 3.5 (+125) as Leeds has scored in each game. It has goals from four different players, so Leeds is far from a short-handed attack.

With Liverpool also having an elite attacking trio in Salah, F Sadio Mané and F Roberto Firmino, there should be a good supply of goals in this match.

Liverpool has also scored in each match with 2 or more goals in matches against both opponents not in the top five of the table.

Everton at Leeds United odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Everton at Leeds United odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

After a thrilling opening weekend for the English Premier League, Everton (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) travel to take on Leeds United (0-1-0). The match will be held at Elland Road in Leeds, England with kickoff set for 10 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Leeds United odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

In their first match of the season, Everton defeated Southampton 3-1.

GK Jordan Pickford allowed 1 of 3 shots on target past him. Everton scored on 3 of their 6 shots, and that +2 goal difference has them tied for fourth in the EPL table.

They’ll be taking on the last place Leeds United, who were absolutely destroyed by Manchester United. Leeds scored, but a Bruno Fernandes’ hat trick has Man U sitting atop the table with a plus-4 goal differential.

Leeds finished ninth last season with 18 wins, so they should pose a decent threat for Everton.

Prediction

Everton 1, Leeds United 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+250) as Everton’s win isn’t as impressive as it seems.

They took on Southampton who had a minus-21 goal difference last season and barely escaped relegation. Targeting F Matthew Hoppe, Everton knows they still need a 9.

As for Leeds, they played Man U at Old Trafford which is no easy task, especially to start the season. They’re much better than a 5-1 total showed. Leeds and Everton were respectively No. 9 and 10 on the table last season.

The teams are close and a tie certainly wouldn’t be shocking. For half a unit, I’d bet on it.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+115) as the best value in this match.

Again, looking at last week, Everton scored 3 against a subpar opponent, and Leeds gave up 5 against an elite Man U side. Against each other, the result should be different.

Everton doesn’t have that top-tier striker which is why they’re targeting Hoppe. Pickford is also coming off a dominant Euro 2020 performance, so there’s hope he can limit Leeds.

Combine the two, and this is one of the few EPL matches I think adds up to Under 3 goals Saturday.
