Tottenham travel to Elland Road this weekend, looking to get back to winning ways after their 2-2 draw away to Bodo/Glimt during the week. Leeds come into this one two unbeaten, following a draw against Bournemouth last time out, and a 1-3 victory away to Wolves before that.
Spurs are unbeaten in six, but had to rely on a 94th-minute equaliser in their last league game at home to Wolves. They also scored late to secure a 2-2 draw away to Brighton in their previous league match.
Leeds started the season with a 1-0 victory over Everton, but followed up with a 5-0 defeat away to Arsenal. They’ve steadied the ship since then, with just one defeat in their last four, and come into this one in 12th place.
Leeds vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tip
Leeds vs Tottenham Predictions
BEST BET BUILDER TIP – Tottenham to win the match @ 6/4
Spurs are favourites to win this one on the road and get back to winning ways following three draws from their last four competitive matches. They are unbeaten away from home in the league this season, with two victories and one draw on the road.
Despite being only six games in, Spurs will be fairly pleased with their start to the league as they sit in fourth, and will be looking to keep the pace on the top three in the early stages of the season.
ALTERNATIVE BET – To boost the odds here, you could add Spurs -1, meaning that they have to win by over one goal. They have done this in three of their six league matches against Man City, Burnley and West Ham.
Shots on Target Tip – Richarlison to have 1+ (8/15)
Richarlison has had a good start to the season for Spurs, with three goals from his opening six league outings. His last goal came in that 2-2 draw with Brighton two weekends ago. He is often involved in his sides play in the opposition box, with all 14 of his shots this season being from inside the area, and five of them being on target.
ALTERNATIVE BETS – for a bigger odds addition to the bet builder, you could take Richarlison to score or assist, as he has three goals and one assist to his name already.
Player to be Carded Tip – Ethan Ampadu (14/5)
Ethan Ampadu is at decent odds to pick up his second booking of the season in this fixture. He has committed five fouls in his four appearances, with a tackle success rate of 50%. Playing in the middle of a three, he will be forced to break up play against a Spurs side who are likely to set up in either a 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-3 formation, with equally physical players like Joao Palhina and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Player to be Carded Tip – Joao Palhinha (12/5)
Joao Palhinha has been carded once so far this season, with the booking coming against Wolves in their last league fixture. Following his late first-time finish in the 94th minute, Palhinha ripped off his shirt and was carded as a result.
He doesn’t make a huge amount of fouls, but is consistently involved in midfield battles. He has made 23 tackles in his six appearances. With that many, it’s a matter of time before he makes a foul, and there’s a good chance he will make one or two here.
If you don’t fancy him for a card, the stats point to plenty of tackles from him. You could add him to make over 3.5 tackles at 10/11.
