Everton vs Leeds Predictions

• Leeds have managed just one away clean sheet all season.
• Everton have conceded in six of their last eight at home.
• The reverse fixture finished 1-1 earlier in the campaign.

Relegation six-pointer at Goodison Park

Everton entertain Leeds in a proverbial six-pointer on Saturday as both teams find themselves in precarious positions.

The hosts currently sit in 18th place, with Leeds one point and one place better off in the final safe spot in the Premier League table.

A win for either side could be huge in terms of their respective bids to avoid the drop but at this stage of the season this has more of a ‘must not lose’ than a ‘must win’ feel about it and that could lead to these teams cancelling each other out.

Both teams can make a breakthrough

Both team to score looks a good option for our main bet as this is a match-up between two poor defences.

Everton did claim a 1-0 win over Arsenal in Sean Dyche’s first game in the hot seat but it is probably fair to say they rode their luck at times and they were then brought back down to earth last time out as they went down 2-0 in a Merseyside Derby at Anfield.

Leeds, who will have interim boss Michael Skubala in charge for a third game, have managed just one clean sheet in 13 attempts away from home across all competitions this term and both teams have scored in four of their last five trips.

As Everton have conceded in six of their last outings at Goodison, goals for both teams looks likely.

Spoils could be shared

As mentioned earlier, this is a huge game for these two struggling sides and that could lead to a cagey affair.

Everton average just under a goal per-game at home and Leeds have scored 13 times in 11 away trips. The reverse fixture finished 1-1 at Elland Road earlier in the season and I’m backing a repeat result at Goodison on Saturday.
