Leeds vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by James | in Premier League Prediction
Leeds United clash with Manchester City at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday in a game that many anticipate will be a thriller. City look to recover their league form after a chastening 5-2 defeat at home to Leicester last weekend. Pep Guardiola's team were extremely sloppy against the quick attackers of the Foxes, conceding three penalties. It was the heaviest home defeat of Guardiola's career and leaves City 13th in the table after two games. Leeds are enjoying a much happier start to the season having won two of their opening three matches, a haul that puts them in seventh. They were empty-handed after their opening game against Liverpool but the narrow defeat showed their potential, which they appear to be building on. Marcelo Bielsa is winning plenty of admirers in the English game and has a long-standing fan in his opposite number this weekend. Both clubs like to attack down the wings and to play their forwards through with clever passing. High lines are likely to be a feature as are hard presses and playing the ball out from the back. In short, expect at least one individual error leading to a goal.
More one goal is likelier still. There have been at least three in City's last seven league matches. City have also scored at least two goals in all of those matches. With a low-scoring match at Bramall Lane being the foreseeable exception, Leeds matches have featured plenty of goals this season with two seven-goal thrillers preceding the win over the Blades. Patrick Bamford has adapted quickly to Premier League football with three goals under his belt already. This is the first meeting between the teams in seven years, on which occasion City beat Leeds 4-0. Expect at least that many goals on Saturday. Back over 3.5 goals.

Our Leeds vs Manchester City Prediction
Leeds are a good team capable of carving open the best defences in the division. They would have been encouraged by the manner in which Leicester exposed City's weaknesses last week. Back goals but don't rule them out. Bet on over 3.5 goals.
