Manchester City and Leeds United face off on Tuesday in an English Premier League showdown at the City of Manchester Stadium. When these two teams faced off in April it was Leeds United that won 2-1.
Manchester City currently sits in 1st place in the standings having picked up 38 points. Manchester City has won six games in a row inside the Premier League. In the last game against the Wolves the offense only scored one goal, but that was enough to come away with the victory. Raheem Sterling scored that goal on a penalty kick in the 66th minute. Manchester City hasn’t been as dominant with their offense as years past, but their defense has been even better. Manchester City has scored 33 goals while their defense has given up nine goals. Bernando Silva has been the best player for Manchester City scoring seven goals and adding another assist. Raheem Sterling has also scored four goals and added an assist.
On the other side of this matchup is Leeds United who sit in 15th place in the standings having picked up 16 points. . Leeds United’s defense really struggled in the last game against Chelsea. Chelsea gave up three goals in that game, and that led to the goal defeat. Leeds United had five shots on goal and found the back of the net twice. Leeds United has scored 17 goals total while their defense has given up 25 goals total. Raphael Dias Belloli has scored seven goals and another assist. He is the star of this team, and they need to have some strong offensive production in this game.
Leeds United’s offense has been strong and even against a strong defense I expect they will score a goal or two. Manchester City is also going to score a couple of goals and this game is going to be high scoring. Back the over.
