Leeds vs Brentford Prediction & Betting tips
Leader Leeds United receives the hyper-ambitious Brentford on Elland Road on Wednesday evening. Leeds is still undefeated while Brentford has already lost five points. Will Leeds United be in a stronger position or will it surprise the Londoners?
Leeds United:
While everyone within Leeds United had previously thought of a tough afternoon against the renovated Wigan Athletic, everything was ultimately in favor of Leeds United. The Whites won the game 0-2 by two goals from striker Patrick Bamford. It took a red card from Joseph Williams for the difference in score to be achieved. The midfielder of Wigan Ahtletic received a yellow card twice, the last yellow card could also have been a direct red, because he struck down his direct opponent. In the preceding phase, The Latics had been dangerous, but it was thanks to goalkeeper Francisco Casilla that he stomped a free kick out of his goal to keep it the same.
Manager Marcelo Bielsa does not seem to be working very hard on his team. Last Monday afternoon, it played under twenty-three of Leeds United’s teams in the strongest line-up. Gjanni Alioski, Helder Costa, Jack Clarke and Jamie Shackleton, among others, took action. From this it can be concluded that Bielsa sends the same eleven players into the field as against Wigan Athletic. In this phase of the season where the players are immensely fit and fresh, that shouldn’t be a problem for the players who were so successful on Saturday against Wigan Athletic.
Brentford:
Brentford has started the season in a mixed way. With four points from three games, the Londoners are in the middle bracket of the Championship. This is too low for a club whose ambition is to reach the play-offs. Last Saturday it was again not profitable during the second home game of the season. This time it was 1-1 against Hull City. For the Swede Pontus Jansson, the game against Leeds United will be special. The Swede was active for The Whites for years, but last summer exchanged Leeds for London because he wanted to be part of the beautiful plans that Brentford has.
Manager Thomas Frank looked ahead to the game against Leeds United on Monday afternoon: ‘We know what to expect against Leeds United. They currently seem very sharp and strong and are hard to beat. We have a lot of respect for our opponent. It will not be easy, but we are confident. We will try to put pressure on Leeds United and we will also have to cover our opponent sharply for ninety minutes. We are not yet sure where we want to be, but last Saturday I already saw very beautiful things on the field. ”
