Leeds United – Statistics & Current Form
The 2001 Champions League semi-final was both the climax of the Whites and the beginning of their decline.

Marcelo Bielsa guarantees success
The detail freak Marcelo Bielsa is primarily responsible for the upswing among the Whites. The Argentine is hugely valued by his coaching colleagues and is considered a role model for Pep Guardiola, for example. Bielsa, whose nickname means the madman, leaves nothing to chance and prepares his protected meticulously for the coming opponent.
In the first Bielsa year, the ascent was missed by a wafer, in the past season the performance could be topped again. Since it was acquired in August 2018, Leeds has won 57 league games. During this period, only Manchester City and Liverpool have celebrated more league wins than the Whites, meanwhile, the Bielsa team celebrated a complete success in 15 of the last 20 league games.
Spectacular style of play ensures scoring
The newcomer invested several million euros to further strengthen the squad. With the mixture of heroes of the rise and well-known newcomers, Bielsa was able to form a sworn unit right away, which is not afraid of big names either. Leeds knows exactly what their opponents are up to, but never forgets their own game philosophy. Aston Villa suffered their first loss of the season last weekend.
In the first six league games, the returnees scored twelve goals, making them the most dangerous newcomer after six matchdays since Middlesbrough FC in the 1992/93 season. Many goals are to be expected in the Bielsa team, the betting base odds comparison between Leeds United and Leicester for the prediction on the over 2.5 betting odds around 1.70. Striker Patrick Bamford, in particular, is in great shape with six goals.

↳ Meslier – Alloski, Koch, Ayling, Dallas – Harrison, Klich, Strujic, Costa – Rodrigo – Bamford
