Liverpool vs Leeds United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Last season saw Liverpool and Leeds involved in one of the best games of the entire campaign, as they drew 3-3 in a thriller at Elland Road in early December. Their second game, however, was less exciting and ended 0-0.Liverpool’s most recent friendly saw Andoni Iraola pick up his second win as Reds boss, as his side overcame Wrexham 1-0 thanks to a goal from Rio Ngumoha. However, the main talking point from this game has been the argument between Curtis Jones and Dominik Szoboszlai, bringing into question the unity of the Liverpool squad.Leeds also picked up a win in their last friendly game, as they edged out Sunderland thanks to a goal from Lukas Nmecha. It was an impressive way for Daniel Farke’s men to bounce back from an earlier friendly loss to Wrexham.Liverpool are likely to come face-to-face with a former player in this game, as new signing Harry Wilson is expected to be involved for Leeds. Likewise, Liverpool could hand their new signing Jeremy Jacquet a debut, as Andoni Iraola has confirmed he will be available for this one.Liverpool only have three more pre-season matches after this one, as they face Monaco before two games in the same day – one behind closed doors – against Como. Leeds, on the other hand, are still set to face Manchester United, RB Leipzig and FC Augsburg before their full campaign begins.
Liverpool vs Leeds United Prediction
Both of the matches between these sides last season were close to call, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see this one end in a similar fashion too.
Leeds are perhaps in slightly better shape than Liverpool right now, as their squad is more in tune with Daniel Farke’s methods while the Reds are still getting used to Andoni Iraola’s style.
However, Liverpool have enough talent to take this game to Leeds, meaning it should be an entertaining one that ends with honours even.Prediction: Liverpool 2-2 Leeds UnitedLiverpool vs Leeds United Betting TipsTip 1: Result – Draw.Tip 2: Game to feature more than 2.5 goals – Yes.Tip 3: Liverpool to score first – Yes.
