Competition: Championship
Market: Leeds win
Odds: 2/5 @ 1xBet
Hoping to find a route to the top of the Championship table on Tuesday night, Leeds will welcome Watford to Elland Road.
Starting with the hosts, while Leeds might have been left heartbroken earlier in the month as they entered October’s international break with a 2-2 stalemate away at Sunderland, Daniel Farke’s men came roaring back over the weekend. Putting in what was a dominant display at Elland Road as they secured a deserved 2-0 win against Sheffield United, it is no secret that the Lilywhites are pencilled in as a leading promotion contender this season. Although the Yorkshire-based outfit might have struggled to find much stability when opening up the new campaign, three points on Tuesday night could see them skyrocket to the top of the Championship table. Signing off September with a 3-0 romp against Coventry, Leeds have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first 10 second-tier showdowns. Smelling another golden opportunity on home soil, it should also be highlighted that Farke’s camp have registered nine points from just their previous four Championship appearances at Elland Road.
As for the visitors, while Watford might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the new campaign, the Hornets have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion. Marking their return from October’s international break with an infamous 3-0 drumming at the hands of arch-rivals Luton, Tom Cleverley’s men have come tumbling out of the play-off places. Now mustering just a pair of wins from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions, the one-time Manchester United midfielder will also have a major headache over his side’s extended issues on the road. Opening October with another 3-0 loss against Preston, Watford have lost each of their last five straight matchups away from Vicarage Road by an aggregate score of 13-2. Pencilled in as a landslide underdog on Tuesday night, they should also be concerned by their most recent trip to Yorkshire. Following to a 3-0 defeat when they travelled to Elland Road last season, we are expecting a similar home victory in midweek.
