Manchester City vs Leeds United: Will there be another Peacocks sensation at the Etihad?

Manchester City retain their lead in the league but are struggling to do so. They have a home game against Leeds, making a decent run. Will they avenge last season’s 1-2 defeat, or will the Peacocks surprise the public again?

Manchester City hold on to first place in the EPL. However, they do so with great difficulty. The Citizens picked up a tough 1-0 win over Wolverhampton on the last matchday. The only goal was scored from a penalty. Three of the last four victories have been by a one-goal margin. City are currently on a six-game winning streak. At the same time, they are only one point behind the closest pursuer, Liverpool. City have no margin for error.

Leeds are slowly getting back to their old self. However, the Peacocks lost 2-3 to Chelsea in the final minutes last weekend, which snapped their three-match winning streak. On the other hand, their injury plight is gradually picking up. And the gap from the relegation zone is six points and three positions. It’s not a good time for the Peacocks to get caught out by the Peacocks. A repeat of April’s 1-2 is likely.

Leeds have eliminated the problems that have haunted them since the beginning of the season and are quite capable of surprising everyone. However, analysts do not believe in the visitors, which we suggest taking advantage of. Betway gives odds of 2.75 for Leeds’ handicap (+2).

Given the epidemic of penalties in the last round, it makes sense to assume that one of the defenders might not play neatly in the penalty box and bring the 11-meter penalty into their own goal. You can bet on that possibility for 3.00.

In conclusion, we believe that City will score some goals, as their goal-scoring pressure has subsided a little of late. Since November, City have never scored more than three goals per match in the EPL. 1xbet gives 1.77 for the Citizens’ Total Under 3 goals.
