Leeds United vs Plymouth Prediction and Betting Tips | 2nd November 2024

Leeds United take on Plymouth Argyle in the 13th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two sides are perched in opposite halves of the points table.

Daniel Farke's Leeds are fresh off a goalless outing at Bristol City in the Championship last weekend. The Whites dominated possession at Ashton Gate but couldn't find a way past a resolute Bristol rearguard as a share of the spoils materialized.

The stalemate keeps Leeds third in the Championship, with 23 points after 13 games, winning six, and unbeaten in their last seven outings.

Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney's Plymouth are coming off a six-goal thriller at home to Preston North End at the weekend. Preston led by three goals, but the Pilgrims scored thrice after the break, including a stoppage-time equalizer by Morgan Whittaker.

Following the draw, Plymouth are 21st in the points table, with 12 points from as many games, just a point above the relegation zone, having gone winless in three outings.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Leeds-Plymouth Championship game at Elland Road.

Leeds United vs Plymouth prediction

The two sides have endured contrasting starts to their campaign. While Leeds are just five points off leaders Sunderland, Plymouth are languishing at the wrong end of the table.

The Pilgrims are winless on the road this season, which doesn't augur well for their victory hopes at Elland Road, having won there just twice and none since a 3-2 victory in a League 2 meeting in 1962. Moreover, they haven't beaten Leeds in 10 league games, losing eight.

Leeds have especially had a stout defense this term, with their seven Championship clean sheets only bettered by Sheffield United's eight in the division. Considering these factors, we expect a resounding win for the Whites.

Prediction: Leeds United 3-0 Plymouth
