Premier League, played Sunday, May 28th, 2023
Here is our Leeds v Tottenham tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a tie. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Both Leeds United and Tottenham must go for all three points in this upcoming clash at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon as the hosts desperately try to find a way to avoid the drop down to the Championship, while Tottenham look to overhaul Aston Villa into the last remaining European spot in the Premier League.
It's looking pretty bleak though for Leeds United fans as their side sit second from bottom and two points adrift of Everton and safety, while the nagging worry of a poor goal difference may also come back to bite The Whites here on Sunday.
Leeds are without a win from their last eight matches overall which includes six defeats and the majority of these losses have also been by quite large margins as well; heavy defeats to Crystal Palace 5-1, Liverpool 6-1, Bournemouth 4-1 and a 3-1 loss to West Ham in recent weeks underline Leeds' fragile defence which has shipped a total of 74 goals to date this season (at an average of 2 goals per game).
Tottenham haven't fared much better in recent weeks in the Premier league as the visitors have managed to win just once in their last seven matches, this rare success coming in the form of a 1-0 home win over London rivals, Crystal Palace, but also slipping to five defeats within this period as well.
Defeats to Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Brentford have resulted in Tottenham dropping down to eighth place in the top flight standings but if Spurs beat Leeds at Elland Road and Aston Villa lose at home to Brighton, then the north London club would grab a Europa Conference League qualifying spot.
Goals look likely to feature here though as 11 of Tottenham's last 12 matches have resulted in Over 2.5 goals with the visitors contributing to the goal-tally, scoring in each of these last 11 games.
Leeds United v Tottenham Verdict
Each of Leeds United's last 12 league games have resulted in both teams scoring and perhaps this comes as no surprise as Leeds' games so far this season have the highest percentage of both teams scoring in a game, which also lends itself to a high likelihood that this fixture will result in Over 2.5 goals.
In addition, nine of Tottenham's last 11 games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals, so Elland Road could be the place to be on the final day of this Premier League season.
Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.50
Other side bets worth considering:
Draw @ 3.80
Correct score: 2-2 @ 12.00
