Leeds United vs. Arsenal 12/18/21 Premier League Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

Leeds United and Arsenal face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Elland Road. When these two teams faced off in October it was Arsenal that came away with the 2-0 victory. 

Arsenal comes into this game sitting in 4th place in the standings having picked up 29 points. Arsenal has won two games in a row including the last game against West Ham 2-0. Both goals were scored in the second half, but they have a ton of confidence heading into this game. Arsenal has scored 23 goals total while their defense has given up 22 goals total. Emile Smith-Rowe has been the top player for Arsenal scoring six goals and adding another two assists. In this game, Arsenal is going to need the defense to be good in this game or it will be a long game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Leeds United who sits in 16th place in the standings having picked up 16 points. Leeds doesn’t have a ton of confidence heading into this game after playing back-to-back games against Chelsea and Manchester City. In that last game against Manchester City, the defense was awful giving up seven goals. Leeds has scored 17 goals total while their defense has given up 32 goals. Raphael Dias Belloli has been the top player for Leeds United scoring seven goals and adding an assist. 

Arsenal’s defense was strong in the last game and they are going to slow down Leeds United again in this game. I also believe that Leeds defense is going to continue to struggle and Arsenal will score a couple of goals. Back Arsenal to win this game on the money line.
