Tip and bets

2.55handicap (-1) at Leeds

Leeds have not won the championship yet and today they will certainly try to put an end to this series. In terms of player selection, the Whites are definitely the strongest in the Championship and they will clearly not lack motivation, it is unlikely that Sheffield Wednesday has a chance to stop such an opponent, even taking into account the positive good game at home, the difference in class is too great.

We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Leeds . This bet is offered with odds of 2.55

1.75both will score

Bet on total

Leeds will clearly be in a determined mood today – it is extremely undesirable for the main contender to win the championship to remain in the third round in a row. Despite not the best game in recent matches, the Whites will clearly take risks and will not be left without goals, but at the same time, Sheffield Wednesday scores regularly at home and will certainly respond with a goal of consolation.

Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.75
