Leeds v Brentford betting tips: Bielsa’s boys up next for the Bees
Published:
Preview and odds for Sunday’s game
The Bees are in real danger of being dragged into the scrap for survival ahead of this trip to Yorkshire as we look through the odds to pick out some Leeds v Brentford betting tips.
Thomas Frank’s side were one of the bright sparks of the early season but only one win from their last seven Premier League games leaves them with questions to answer.
Sunday’s game at Elland Road kicks off at 2.00pm.
Leeds v Brentford match odds
Leeds had VAR to thank on Tuesday evening when awarded a stoppage-time penalty which resulted in them picking up all three points at home to Crystal Palace.
That was their first win in four but things are beginning to look up for the Whites and boss Marcelo Bielsa will be buoyed by the news Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling are likely to be available.
They are the 20/23 favourites but having drawn two of their last four, that result also enters calculations at 5/2 in Leeds v Brentford betting tips.
Brentford are 3/1 to bounce back from a chastising evening at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday evening.
The Bees were off the pace against a well-rested Spurs but they are unbeaten away from home this season and will be optimistic about maintaining that record.
Goals have been far and few between for the hosts this term, scoring more than one only once this term and never registering more than two.

Leeds v Brentford key battles
Raphinha notched up his sixth of the season when slotting home the decisive penalty on Tuesday night and he has proven key for Leeds in Bamford’s absence.
