Bookie - This is what makes Leeds United ideal for promotionPopular online bookmakers Bwin suggest Leeds United are the side to back in the Premier League promotion race.
The bookie argues that Leeds’ home form makes them a solid promotion candidate even though the team is still searching for a first win under new head coach Darko Milanic.
“There’s another price that has caught our eye, rating arguably better value than any of those mooted so far,†writes Bwin on their website.
“It’s the 20/1 about Leeds scaling the second-tier wall this season to reach the Premier League.â€
“Their home form isn’t a million miles away from being promotion-worthy either.â€
Leeds got off to a bad start under Milanic when they lost 2-0 away at Brentford but they responded well to that setback, avoiding defeat in their next two home games with draws against Reading and Sheffield Wednesday.
The Whites have lost only once at home this season, conceding just three goals, which has only been bettered by Ipswich Town who currently sit inside the play-off places.
“In Darko Milanic, the west Yorkshiremen may be about to embark on a surge of new manager-induced momentum that could easily see them bridge the small gap that stands between them and the upper echelons.â€
Milanic admitted when he was first unveiled as the Leeds manager that it would take time for things to settle down at Elland Road as he gathered experience on his players and the learnt about how he wanted them to play.

Slowly but surely the pieces are falling into place, but a win against Rotherham United when the international break is over is necessary and would ease the pressure over the Slovenian.
Of course the bookies only ever want your cash but if you do fancy a bet on Leeds, the Whites have a large squad, which is certainly capable of consistency over the rest of a very long season.

We’ve decided to spend some of our downtime re-assessing the Championship promotion picture and here’s what we found out: Before a ball was kicked we sounded out Wolves, Reading and Ipswich as the three long-odds outfits worth keeping an eye on. With the first and last names of the trio just two points off the summit, things are going swimmingly for the bwinbetting.com tipping force. Club Friendlies
Wolves have shrivelled to 7/2 from the 13/2 we were singing the praises of earlier in the summer, while Ipswich are also slimming down, into 11/2 from 8/1.
But there’s another price that has caught our eye, rating arguably better value than any of those mooted so far. It’s the 20/1 about Leeds scaling the second-tier wall this season to reach the Premier League. They may have started slowly, but the Whites find themselves just four points from a play-off spot and six adrift of pacesetting Norwich. With 15 in the pocket already, they have more than double the haul of Fulham, for instance, yet the Cottagers rank as 14/1 shots to escape the second rung via the skylight. Brighton can be backed at the same price, despite being four points worse off than Leeds. Clearly, the big names still have the odds gurus scared, but the topsy turvy nature of the Championship, where everyone is beatable, which means siding with the favourites isn’t always advisable.
In Darko Milanic, the west Yorkshiremen may be about to embark on a surge of new manager-induced momentum that could easily see them bridge the small gap that stands between them and the upper echelons. Their home form isn’t a million miles away from being promotion-worthy either. Only one team has prevailed at Elland Road, where the Leeds backline has leaked just three goals, half the amount shipped by the table-topping Canaries. If they can find a way to patch up their away form, a skywards push won’t be too far away so have a flutter on the Whites now while the price is high. Leeds to be promoted @ 20/1 - See more at:
