Leeds vs Manchester UtdPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The last friendly before the season, played at a neutral ground in Dublin, between two sides who have met six times in the past three years. Meetings that stay short The six recent games read 1-2, 1-1, 0-0, 2-0, 0-2 and 2-2: totals of 3, 2, 0, 2, 2 and 4 goals. Only one reached four, and none went beyond. Two attacks still finding their rhythm Leeds scored 1.50 goals a game in their recent home outings while conceding 0.66, with both teams scoring in only 23% of them. Manchester United produce more on the road at 1.91 a game, but arrive from a goalless draw with Sunderland and a 1-1 with Paris Saint Germain. The verdict: the game must not reach four goals. Five of the six meetings stayed within that limit and Leeds home games have been among the tightest of the period, though a friendly with heavy rotation is always less predictable than a competitive fixture. My take: a controlled tune-up with few clear chances. That takes us to 76%.
