Man Utd is coming into this match not playing in the best form recently. They have won just 1 of their last 3 matches but they only have 1 loss in their last 8 matches, collecting 4 wins and 3 draws in that span. When playing away from home, they do not have a loss in their last 7 matches but they have only won 3 of those matches. They have been trending to the under in their recent matches. They have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 5 straight matches and in 7 of their last 9. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches but they have gone under 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 matches.

Leeds is coming into this match playing in awful form in their recent matches. They have lost 2 of their last 3 matches and 3 of their last 5 with just 1 win in that span. When playing at home, they have lost 2 of their last 3 matches and they only have 1 win in their last 4. They have been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches and in 8 of their last 10. When playing at home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 matches. They have scored 27 goals in 23 matches this year and they have allowed 46 goals in those matches. When playing at home, they have scored 13 goals in 11 matches and have allowed 17 goals.

 

Man Utd is coming into this match playing in much better form than Leeds have been in recently but Man Utd have also had their own problems as well. They are coming off of a much needed win in their last match and they did not even concede a goal in that match. Man Utd have a lot more talent and skilled players on their side as they are a giant in this league while Leeds is lucky to even be playing in the Premier League. Man Utd are currently sitting in the final Champions League spot right now but they have some teams trailing close behind and they need to get in motion and start picking up some points in their matches to maintain their position. They should be motivated to do so but they also have a Champions League match coming up this week and that may result in a lesser effort and a weaker lineup for them in this match. Leeds can score goals though and if Man Utd is to underestimate them in this match then they could be caught off guard here and suffer for it. Man Utd have not been performing their best recently and with the midweek match coming up, they could be looking at another squandered opportunity for 3 points here.
