Leeds vs Tottenham: Betting tips for EPL Saturday lunch-time kick-off


Leeds host Tottenham in the 12:30 pm BST kick-off at Elland Road in the Premier League on Saturday, in what looks like a watchable game between two teams that have enjoyed positive starts to their respective campaigns.


Adam Drury picks out 8/5 and 23/4 selections for the upcoming match in the English top flight.


BTTS & over 2.5 goals


It is hard to imagine this being anything other than an exciting game with plenty of goals.


Leeds have unlocked their goalscoring potential in the last couple of weeks, backing up a 3-1 win at Wolves with a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth.

They are certainly capable of scoring at least once against a Tottenham team, so it is hard to get a read on so far this season.


Thomas Frank's side have excelled in victories at Manchester City and West Ham but were held by Wolves last time out in the Premier League, and also underperformed in a 2-2 draw at Bodo-Glimt in midweek.



They have conceded five goals in their last four games, though, only keeping a clean sheet at home to Doncaster in the EFL Cup.


Having also scored twice or more in all four of their away games so far this season, they are very likely to add to the goalscoring themselves and backing over 2.5 goals with BTTS is the way I'm going to play it.


Kudos for Kudus


I'm going to team up that goals angle with some individual success for Mohammed Kudus.


The winger has taken eight shots in his last three league games, including at least two in each, so adding just one more here should be a safe bet. He also had one in his only Champions League start against Villarreal.


Kudus ranks fifth for shots and sixth for xG of all Premier League players yet to score, and in my book, that means a goal must be coming.


I'll back him to end his wait for a first Tottenham goal at the longer price.


Adam Drury's recommended bets for Leeds vs Tottenham


1pt – BTTS, over 2.5 goals and Mohammed Kudus to take 1+ shot (8/5 with Bet365)


0.5pts – BTTS, over 2.5 goals and Mohammed Kudus to score (23/4 with Coral)
