- Leeds United have not lost in 4 home games in the Premier League 2026/2027 (W1, D3). Tottenham have won 1 and lost 1 of their last 4 away Premier League 2026/2027 matches (W1, D2, L1). Leeds have conceded just 3 home goals in the Premier League 2026/2027, 0.75 on average. Leeds have not won either of their last 2 home games against Spurs (D1, L1).
Spurs find form at the perfect time
Leeds United come into this game on the back of 2 consecutive draws after a 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United and a 0-0 draw away to Sunderland, while Spurs come into this after a 2-0 away win at Chelsea after beating Coventry City 3-1 at home.
Leeds United are marginally better off than their opponents in the Premier League 2026/2027 table having picked up 11 points from their first 8 matches and sitting 7th, while Tottenham are 14th on 9 points. Both sides will be pleased with their starts to the season, but Leeds have been a bit sharper.
Leeds United have won just 1 of their last 5 games (W1, D3, L1) but they're a tough team to beat and Spurs will find this game a difficult game in spite of their great performances in their last 2 fixtures.
Leeds’ game is a counter-press and a puzzle
The Whites are a positional possession side with a strong emphasis on counter-pressing and being fluid in their shapes, and with that, they can drag opponents into all sorts of messy central battles where they can play their fluid overloads to create chances.
Spurs have their own plans. Roberto De Zerbi is a possession football manager and his Spurs will play the ball, control territory and press actively.
Conor Gallagher has been Spurs' most prolific Premier League 2026/2027 player so far, scoring 1 goal in 3 games, but he brings so much more to their midfield than that. His ability to be that spark in the final third and play the right pass or make the right run at the top of the press could be vital on Saturday.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is Leeds' biggest threat and has been the Whites' top scorer in the Premier League 2026/2027 so far with 3 goals in 5 games. He has also scored 2 of Leeds' 5 goals in their last 5 matches and could be a good anytime goalscorer option.
Competitive match in prospect
These sides are both good sides and in good form at the moment, but at odds of 2.5 for Leeds and 2.66 for Spurs, it's still very tight and we wouldn't be surprised to see a narrow away win, but we do think the draw is a very live option.
Leeds have lost just 1 of their 8 Premier League 2026/2027 games so far and they are unbeaten at Elland Road, while Spurs have won 1, drew 2 and lost 1 of their 4 away matches, scoring 0.75 goals per game and conceding 1.00. A 1-1 correct score prediction seems likely.
Spurs are in good nick and Leeds have drawn their last 2, so we think Spurs double chance could be the way to go. Leeds have failed to win either of their last 2 at home to Spurs so history is on the visitors' side.
The last meeting at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium finished 1-1 and Spurs lead the overall head-to-head by 3 wins and 1 draw from the last 4 meetings. Both teams to score at 1.7 seems like a good alternative to the Spurs double chance selection and over 2.5 goals is live at 1.9.
