On April 17, Elland Road (Leeds) will host the match of the 31st round of the English Premier League, in which Leeds will compete with Liverpool. The battle will start at 21:0 CET.

Leeds

The team, being under the rule of Bielsa, presented their fans some really nice years – first, there was a long-awaited return to the Premier League, then, a good first season there. After that, “the Whites” have been in constant turbulence, “dangling” on the verge of the relegation zone. As a result, the management broke up with the Argentinian specialist a little bit over than a year ago; his successor, Jesse Marsch, had been taking the position until February, but was also fired. Javi Gracia brought some successes, including a 2-1 victory in the battle against the direct rival, Nottingham Forest, in April. On the other hand, there have been enough painful misfires during recent weeks. In this case, it is reasonable to mention a 1-4 defeat made by Arsenal (it can be explained by the fact that they played away and with the favourite of the division). Speaking about the previous round, the team hosted a direct competitor, Crystal Palace – having opened the score in the 21st minute of the game, “the Whites” conceded 5 goals.

Liverpool

The club won two cup trophies and reached the Champions League final in the previous season. Speaking about the inner arena, the team had been fighting for the 1st place until the very end of the tournament (even if Manchester City turned out to be a little bit stronger again). In contrast, at least a formal revenge in the struggle with “the Citizens” can now be added to the asset – there happened the victory in the English Super Cup. “The Merseysiders” left the rest of the tournaments, including the Champions League, where they lost to Real Madrid at the 1/8 final stage in March. As for the Premier League, the chances of finishing in the top 4 are becoming more and more elusive. “The Reds” can demonstrate a cool fight (mostly a half of the game) – they smashed Manchester United and achieved a draw in the battle against Arsenal in the previous round. At the same time, the team is unstable and prone to failures in defence, and just has not won in the Premier League for 4 rounds in a row.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

After returning to the Premier League, Leeds initially created troubles for Liverpool, but it reached only 1 draw and 3 defeats in 4 matches. At the same time, the team got a 2-1 victory at Anfield in the autumn.

Predictions

Bookmakers believe that “the Reds” will take revenge. Still, these are the opponents that can play whatever they want. Thus, we recommend betting on “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.63).
