Leeds United Cardiff City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game puts face to face two  teams with different game models. On the one hand, Leeds likes to have the ball and play in an organized manner, while Cardiff enjoys acting more directly, particularly in the counterattack. However, we see more conditions for Leeds to add the three points as they play at home and hold more individual values. That said and given all these details, betting for the home club's goals is of great value.

Preview
Leeds United and Cardiff City face at Elland Road, in a match for the 22th round of the Championship. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 03‑02‑2018, in a match for the Championship, Cardiff City won by (1‑4). The goals of the match were scored by S. Bamba (54' Autogolo), for Leeds United, and by C. Paterson (9' ), J. Hoilett (41' ), S. Morrison (45' ) and A. Pilkington (88' ), for Cardiff City. Although this is a match between 1st and 9th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 2nd best in home matches and the 17th best in away matches.

Analysis Leeds

The home team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 46 points won, after 14 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Huddersfield Town, by (0‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Hull City, by (2‑0). This is a team that maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since they have had similar results in both conditions. For the league, Leeds United won 23 points out of 30 possible points, after 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 home matches.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 6 wins in the last home matches and they haven't lost any of the last 7 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 8 of their last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 16 of the last 21 matches for the Championship, they have reached half‑time in front in 8 of those 16 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 14 of them. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Leeds United kicks off for this match with a 2-0 home win against Hull City, adding their seventh straight win in this English second division: goals were scored by Wijs (own goal) and Alioski. In this match against Cardiff, coach Marcelo Bielsa should privilege the maintenance of the ball and organized attacks, especially through the right. At the individual level we highlight the forward Bambford, being the best scorer with 7 goals scored. For this game the coach cannot count on Cooper, Roberts and Forshaw, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Kiko Casilla, Gaetano Berardi, Luke Ayling, Ben White, Hélder Costa, Stuart Dallas, Pablo Hernández, Jack Harrison, Mateusz Klich, Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford.
Coach: S. Allardyce.

Analysis Cardiff

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 31 points won, after 8 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Barnsley, by (3‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Brentford, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 8 points in away matches and 23 points at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 9 goals conceded at home, against 13 goals scored and 20 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Cardiff City has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Cardiff comes for this match after a 2-1 loss against Brentford, putting an end to their four straight games without losing in this competition: Pack scored the only goal of the team. Playing away from home, coach Neil Harris should favor defensive organization and counterattacking through the corridors. Joe Ralls is Cardiff's top scorer with 5 goals scored. For this game the visiting mister cannot count on Vassell, Glatzel and Hoillet due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Neil Etheridge, Joe Bennett, Sean Morrison, Aden Flint, Lee Peltier, Will Vaulks, Marlon Pack, Joe Ralls, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Daniel Ward, Lee Tomlin.
Coach: M. Hudson.
