Fun stuff to watch! The striker Timo Werner bested all others in that game and was awarded a match rating of 9.0 out of 10. Werner scored two goals, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Leeds United form and stats

Leeds United have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-3 (7 played).

Leeds played 2-2 against Brentford in their previous match. As mentioned above, Leeds drew the match against Brentford. Manager Bielsa Caldera brought on Bamford to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Attacker Raphinha got a player rating of 8.15 in the game. "Man of the match" Raphinha served one assist, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Crystal Palace.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Leeds United played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected zero times.

The schedule is very tough for Leeds now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Manchester City is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 6 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Leeds rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches. Leeds has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
