Only fixture two of the Premier League for these contenders and fresh optimism here at Elland Road as Leeds United host Everton. Get smart with this preview!
This could be an engaging fixture with lots of action and energy as both participants are well recovered since they last saw competitive action. Let's get started!
Leeds United form and stats
In the previous season, Leeds United's league statistics were 18 wins, 5 draws and 15 losses, ending with 9th spot in the Premier League. During these 38 matches they scored 62 goals and conceded 54. Performing as the home side in the previous season Leeds United delivered 8-5-6 (win-draw-lost) with 28 goals and 21 conceded.
Leeds United faced defeat in their previous match, away at Manchester United (1-5). Attacking player Rodrigo bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.01 out of 10. Rodrigo dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times. As you see from the result above, Leeds suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
Before that, Leeds had a home game versus West Bromwich Albion which ended with a victory 3-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Leeds have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Carabao Cup game versus Crewe Alexandra in only two days. This game is also played here at Elland Road.
Everton form and stats
Let's have a look at how Everton performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 17 victories, 8 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 47 and conceded 48 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 11 - drew 4 and lost 4 with 23/20 goals scored/conceded.
Everton had fun at their own home (Elland Road) last time out, beating Southampton 3-1. Abdoulaye Doucouré, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored. Richarlison got a match rating of 7.95 in that game, top player of the team. Richarlison scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Millonarios.Everton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, two draws and four defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
The schedule is very tough for Everton now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Huddersfield Town is waiting in only two days.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Leeds United two wins, zero draws and Everton one victory. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Top Goalscorers
