Leeds vs Stoke Betting Tips: Leeds Win / Over 2.5 goals

Leeds are presently third in the Championship standings, having 73 points, only two points shy of Ipswich Town in second place. Before a recent draw, the Whites had a winning streak of nine league matches. In their latest league game, they managed a 1:1 draw against Huddersfield Town on Saturday, despite initially trailing.

Before sharing the points on Saturday, Daniel Farke’s team had achieved four consecutive away victories, scoring ten goals and not conceding any in all four matches. Meanwhile, Leeds have been performing excellently at home, securing an impressive 13 victories in their last 14 games at Elland Road. This season, Farke’s team has yet to be defeated in 17 home league games.

When Leeds play at home, a high-scoring win is typically anticipated due to their strong home support. In ten of their last 11 home wins, The Whites have witnessed more than 2.5 goals being scored.

On the other hand, Stoke City, engaged in a fierce relegation battle, managed to clinch a crucial 2-0 win over Middlesbrough in their most recent match. This victory put them on equal points with Huddersfield Town, just above the relegation zone.

The Potters have had difficulty performing well on their home ground in the past few months. Their win on Saturday was only their second in ten games, and they have lost their last three away games. Since the end of November, Stoke’s last five away losses have all seen more than 2.5 goals scored.

With Leeds in such good form, and Stoke continuing to struggle away from home, I expect the hosts to win with at least three match goals scored. That outcome has consistently landed at Elland Road this season and I’m confident we will see a repeat outcome on Tuesday.
