Manchester City vs Leeds Prediction & Betting tips
Leader Manchester City opens football on Saturday in the Premier League with a home game against Leeds United. Both teams want to play football and therefore there is a good chance that these two teams will present us with a spectacle at the beginning of this weekend!
Manchester City:
Manchester City is fourteen points ahead of second place. It is only a matter of time before Manchester City can receive the Premier League title. Manchester City still has to win four of the last seven league games to actually take the national title. So it seems that The Citizens – assuming that Manchester United will not lose all of them in the coming games – will take the title in less than a month. Especially because Manchester City with Chelsea only has one top team as an opponent in the remaining league matches.
Of course, Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are not all about winning the Premier League this season. The Champions League may have even more priority. In that Champions League, Manchester City managed to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 on Tuesday-evening thanks to goals from Kevin de Bruyne (who is contracted this week until 2025) and a goal in the final phase from Phil Foden. Manchester City’s starting position for next Wednesday’s return in Germany is therefore reasonable, but far from ideal. Given that game is already planned in a few days, Guardiola will use the Premier League game against Leeds United to rotate a bit.
Leeds United:
Leeds United is the number eleven in the Premier League. A classification that they are not dissatisfied with at Leeds United. Certainly not because Leeds United is still active as a PhD candidate at the highest level. In any case, enforcement is already a certainty for Marcelo Bielsa’s team. Leeds United, on the other hand, has little to play for in the last weeks of this season. A final ranking in the left row seems the highest attainable for The Whites.
Leeds United has been in reasonable shape in recent matches. That should give Bielsa’s team some confidence in the run-up to the duel with Manchester City. For example, Leeds recently played a draw against Chelsea (0-0) and managed to beat relegation candidates Fulham (1-2) and Sheffield United (2-1) in recent weeks. Manchester City-away will be a tough game for Leeds, which also has three tough home matches planned in the coming weeks. Next month, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will be visiting successively on Elland Road. All the better for Bielsa and his team that Leeds United are already certain of another season of Premier League football.
