Prediction: 1-1
Leeds United
Tottenham were not in action in midweek as their game against Fulham was postponed due to the fierce of coronavirus spread. Spurs aim to keep their title hopes alive, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Whites. Jose Mourinho can’t count on Bale and Lo Celso for Saturday’s match, but both Carlos Vinicius and Lucas should recover in time to face the Whites.
Leeds United, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 5-0 win over WBA, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Given Tottenham’s attacking potential, we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. The likes of Berardi, Forshaw, and Koch remain in the recovery room for the visitors, while Llorente is rated doubtful. In their last meeting in a competitive match Leeds defeated Tottenham 2-1.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Leeds United):
Leeds United is one of the clubs that won the FA Cup. The Whites outplayed Arsenal in the final of the prestigious competition back in 1972, but they clinched the League Cup trophy as well. Leeds United faced the Gunners in the 1967/1968 League Cup final and it has to be noted that Terry Cooper scored the winner for the Whites.
Leeds play their home games at Elland Road and the capacity of the stadium is 37,914. The club was founded in 1919 and they have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies ever since (1968/1969, 1973/1974, 1991/1992). Leeds United made it to the Champions League final in 1975, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the title clash.
The Whites were impressive under David O’Leary. The likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Ian Harte were part of the Elland Road outfit back then and they did well to reach the semis of the Champions League in 2001.
