Kamp vs Crystal Palace, Elland Road søn 20.september kl 15

[Asbjørn]

Er nok pre match presser i dag så kamptråden må på plass.

Dette er en kamp de fleste forventer seier i, basert på lagenes sesongstart. Samtidig vet 'alle' at Leeds kan skuffe i slike situasjoner. Men kanskje ikke nå. Tredjeplass på denne sesongs tabell etter fire kamper, femteplass på tabellen fra 1.12.25. Det er ikke en fluke...

Palace hadde ny kamp i går, de fleste i start-oppstillingen deres fikk 80 minutter pluss...

Det blir vel uforandret start-ellever på oss.

Det renner inn mål hos Palace. På nivå med et lag som rykker ned.

En seier her og dette Leeds laget vil ha alle muligheter for å etablere seg blandt de 7-8 beste denne sesongen.
Momentum og trend over de siste månedene er ellevill. Som Leedssupporter er det jo nesten ikke til og tro hva man har vært med på sesong etter sesong.

Synd med Wilson, han skulle ha fått spilt seg i form nå... Håper han ikke er lenge ute. Det er en kanonspiller der - bare han får ut sitt beste. Hjemme mot Palace kunne han briljert ser jeg for meg... Men vi har en sterk tropp nå, så det går nok fint. Jeg har trua på søndag, alt annet enn seier er skuffende.
Med seier er vi på 11 poeng og går inn i International Break på 3.- plass! Tenk at vi har kommet dit!

Kjenner at jeg ikke er så bekymret for at Wilson er ute. Selvsagt viktig å få ham i gang, men James har levert såpass bra i sine innhopp at han fortjener mer spilletid enn hva tilfellet har vært. Nå blir det vel Brenden som kommer inn først uansett, da.

Prediction time.
The Athletic:
Leeds United vs Crystal Palace

Elias says: "Leeds are enjoying their best start to a Premier League season since 2001-02, when they finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup (today's Europa League). Whispers of another European voyage are beginning to make their way around the stands at Elland Road, buoyed by that impressive 4-1 defeat of Newcastle on Monday. The mood at Palace, however, is almost the polar opposite. Last week's 3-2 home loss to promoted Ipswich was unacceptable for a club who have grown accustomed to success in recent years, and new manager Pierre Sage is under increasing pressure to turn around this poor start. We doubt he'll do that on Sunday in Yorkshire, though."

HOME WIN

2-1

Leeds United vs Crystal Palace, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports

Betting on Leeds when the price is right is a wise strategy, because more often than not, you know exactly what you're getting. Organisation, aggression, a threat from set pieces and a team where everyone looks comfortable playing the same way.

And they simply don't lose many games.

Leeds have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League matches dating back to March, winning six and drawing six. That's the fewest defeats of any side in the division over that period. Their latest performance was another reminder of the formula, too, as they dismantled Newcastle 4-1 at Elland Road.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin adds goals to become complete striker
But it is the first-half numbers that really catch my eye.

Across their last 19 games, Leeds have conceded just two goals before half-time, keeping 17 first-half clean sheets in that sequence. That is an extraordinary level of consistency and it tells you something about how well-drilled they are from the first whistle.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have already conceded 11 goals in their opening four league games. So I'm going back to the Leeds factor. The Leeds/Leeds half-time/full-time price of 7/4 with Sky Bet appeals.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1
