Leeds v Tottenham Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Leeds host Tottenham on Saturday, looking to capitalise on the visitors' European exploits during the week to boost their own survival hopes.
Daniel Farke's side have made a positive start on their return to the Premier League and are unbeaten at home, but will face a tough challenge against a Spurs side rejuvenated under Thomas Frank.
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best tips ahead of the Saturday lunchtime clash.
Leeds v Tottenham Tips
Here are our three top football tips ahead of the game.
Tip 1: BTTS and under 3.5 goals
If Leeds are to survive this season, home form is clearly going to play a huge factor and their early record of one win and two draws is a positive step in the right direction.
Clean sheets against Everton and Newcastle showed the foundations of what Daniel Farke is trying to build at Elland Road, even if they undid some of the good work by conceding two goals to Bournemouth last week.
Under Farke at Elland Road, Leeds have conceded 30 goals in 49 matches and have packed the midfield so far this season, making it difficult for the opposition to play through them and I'm expecting something similar even against a Spurs side with a bit more star quality.
Leeds are a pretty workmanlike team - though they did show against Bournemouth that they can cause problems for good teams - but will make it hard for anyone at home this season, and with Spurs' defence not quite watertight, I think we should see goals at either end with one team just edging it.
Tip 2: Gudmundsson 1.5+ fouls, Bogle to be shown a card
One thing we should expect from Leeds this season is that they will be very physical, and that's been highlighted by the work they did in the transfer window by bringing in so many experienced, physically imposing players.
We can also see that only Wolves, Crystal Palace and Brighton have made more tackles than the Whites so far this season and I don't see that changing this weekend.
We've seen the Leeds full-backs targeted before and while Jayden Bogle (16 tackles, two yellows) and Gabriel Gudmundsson (12 tackles, one yellow) have shown they are up to it at times, the ability of Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus will cause them a lot of problems and I think there's a bit of value to be found in the betting markets.
Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff are two more to look at closely. They both dive in quite a lot and it's not hard to see how that could go wrong at times this season, but with the flair of the two wingers on show I'm focusing on the flanks.
Tip 3: HT/FT: Draw/Tottenham, Spurs to score last
From the limited sample size we have available to us, Leeds look like they are struggling to cope with the intensity of the Premier League deep into the second half.
They have conceded stoppage-time goals to Arsenal, Fulham and now Bournemouth, with the latter two costing them three points already this season.
The step up in intensity from the Championship is an obvious factor, as is Leeds' decision to buy players with a history of injuries and just the squad depth of established Premier League clubs.
If Spurs are to win on Saturday - which they should do - then it will be by staying in the game and finishing strongly, while Daniel Farke must adapt and manager the game better.
it is also worth noting that Spurs have scored goals in the last five minutes of their last four matches...
