Leeds United vs. Man City Prediction, Preview – Saturday, Feb. 28
Whenever these clubs met back on November 29, Manchester City edged out a 3-2 victory at home. This time around, Leeds United are in a bit better form than they once were, posting a 2-3-1 record in their previous six contests.
Leeds also gets the advantage of playing at home in this matchup; where they are 6-4-3 (22 points). Only one of their wins this year has come on the road.
Despite their 15th place in the table, Leeds is still a long shot for relegation, according to PrizePicks Team Picks payouts; picking Yes for Leeds to be relegated pays 8.33x (or $833 on a $100 entry).
If Man City wants to catch Arsenal in the table, they can’t afford to have any slip-ups against bottom-of-the-table teams. It’s safe to say that City will be rooting for whichever club faces Arsenal each week until the season concludes.
Although Erling Haaland has cooled off a bit by finding the back of the net in just 3 of his last 10 matches after scoring at least 1 goal in 9 of his first 11 starts in EPL action this season, he’s still pacing the Premier League in goals scored (22) and goals + assists (29).
