Leeds United vs Watford: Preview

Leeds United in their second top flight season have not made the start they must have had in mind as they find themselves in 18th place after six games played. Marcelo Bielsa’s side had a tough run of fixtures to start with facing Manchester United, Everton and Liverpool in the first four games of the season. On the way other hand Leeds have also been hit by suspension and injuries in the recent games. Pascal Struijk was sent off after his tackle on Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott who broke his ankle in the process and therefore is ruled out for the rest of the season.

Luke Ayling and Bamford both came off injured in a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United, with reports suggesting that the defender will need surgery and Bamford is out for upto 2-3 weeks. Bielsa’s side were beaten by West Ham in their last game after Michail Antonio scored a 90th minute winner to take home all three points for the Hammers. Leeds take on newly promoted side Watford next at the Elland Road and will be looking for their first win of the new Premier League season.

Meanwhile, Watford have opened their 21/22 Premier League campaign with an impressive 3-2 home win against Aston Villa. Watford then lost their next three games against Brighton, Spurs and Wolves respectively. The Hornets were back to winning ways against their fellow newly promoted side Norwich City in a 3-1 win before playing out a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United with their young star Ismaila Sarr scoring an equaliser in the 72nd minute before Sean Longstaff gave his side the lead in the first half. Watford take on Leeds United a team which is very similar to them, great going forward in attack but at the same time concedes many chances.

Leeds United vs Watford: Prediction

Leeds United are without some of their key players with the likes of Ayling, Struijk and Bamford are all out due to suspension and injuries. Irrespective of that it will not make Bielsa change his attacking style of play contemplated with a high press when not in possession. It will be an interesting matchup when these two sides face each other. We predict a draw in this game but can see plenty of goals in this one.
