Leeds are still awaiting their first victory of the 2021-22 Premier League season and this might come at Elland Road on Saturday. Marcelo Bielsa’s side are strong betting favourites to overcome Watford and climb out of the relegation zone, although it might be the case that Patrick Bamford is still missing with injury.
Raphinha has stepped up in the attacking forward position and the Brazilian could prove to be the match winner here, with Leeds creating plenty of chances before losing 2-1 to West Ham and a similar performance might be enough to overcome a Hornets side who were second best against Newcastle last weekend.
On the flip side, Watford can offer plenty from an attacking point-of-view and that’s why we feel as though the BTTS Yes betting option could be more profitable rather than backing Leeds who are without a win in six. The visitors should certainly find a few chances coming their way at Elland Road.
When you consider that the home side have conceded fourteen goals in six games played, then one can’t be confident that they’ll keep a clean sheet. Therefore, any Leeds win is likely to be a high-scoring one.
