About The Match
Leeds United host Manchester United with the home side holding the better of the season so far, yet the market prices this as a close contest. Leeds United sit 7th on 9 points and have been hard to break down at Elland Road, conceding 0.7 goals per home match across 3 home matches against a league home-side average of 1.33. Manchester United arrive 13th on 6 points and winless in their last 5 away matches, with their away defence level with the league average. The key uncertainty is whether Manchester United's back-loaded scoring, 89% of their goals come after half-time, can find a way past a Leeds United defence that has kept clean sheets in 33% of matches.
