Leeds – Brentford Match Preview

Leeds welcomes Brentford for the 21st matchday of the English Premier League.

Leeds continues their poor run of results after the restart of the league. In the previous matchday, they were defeated at home by Aston Villa 2-1. A result that was undeserved for them as they missed important chances to score more goals but again paid for their inefficiency, on the one hand, and their many defensive mistakes on the other.
Thus, Leeds completed 5 consecutive matches without a single win and remains low in the standings, being 17th-places place with 17 points.

In the middle of the week, Leeds easily prevailed 5-2 over Cardiff in a cup game and got the ticket for the next round of the competition.

Brentford continues their positive results. In the previous round, they beat 2-0 Bournemouth at home. They made a very mature appearance, scored one goal in each half, while they had clear chances for more goals, while defensively they risked little and thus took the 3 points without stress.

This was Brentford's 3rd league win in a row, and their 7th unbeaten match, being the pleasant surprise of the league. The closing of the matchday found them in 9th place with 29 points which allows them to dream even of a European ticket!

The form of today's opponents is completely opposite. Leeds, on the one hand, is faltering in the last matches and needs the points in their fight to stay in the division. And on the other hand, Brentford, continues their impressive performances and climbs up the rankings more and more. It is difficult to choose the winner here, but the style of these teams predisposes us to a match with many chances and goals. My final call is the Over 2.5 goals alternative at 1.70 odds.
