Leeds vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has landed in 11 of Leeds’ last 12 matches.
• Over 2.5 goals has landed in seven of Spurs’ last eight outings.
• Harry Kane has scored in 11 of his last 13 appearances for club and country.

Whites waiting for a miracle

A 3-1 defeat at West Ham last weekend has left Leeds on the brink of relegation and they need a miracle to escape the drop zone heading into the final day of the season.

The Whites sit 19th in the table and need not only to beat Spurs on Sunday, but also for both Everton and Leicester to drop points. Should Everton get a draw, Leeds need to win by three clear goals to leapfrog their relegation rivals on goal difference.

However, a win is anything but assured. The defeat at West Ham made it two points from their last eight league games and they have conceded a massive 25 goals in this period, although in fairness they have found the net in each of their last 12 fixtures.

Spurs collapse leaves them in no-mans land

Tottenham aren’t exactly flying high, either, with a 3-1 loss to Brentford in their last outing leaving them eighth in the table and out of contention for Europa League qualification. With the alternative another foray into the Europa Conference League, there is every chance that Spurs would be content to drop points at Elland Road.

The visitors have lost three of their last four games and have conceded nine goals in this sequence, although, like their opponents, they have been fairly prolific at the other end, scoring in each of their last 11 games and netting a total of 20 goals in that time.

Goals galore at Elland Road

With Leeds knowing only a win will give them a fighting chance, we can expect to see them push forward in numbers on Sunday and that should lead to a high-scoring affair. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 11 of their last 12 games and in nine of Spurs’ last 12, so that’s where my money is going on Sunday.

In the end, I wouldn’t be surprised to see these two cancel each other out. Leeds’ last two home games have both ended all square and a repeat of their 2-2 draw with Newcastle could be on the cards, while Harry Kane is a good value offering to find the net. The England striker has 28 league goals this season and has scored in 11 of his last 13 appearances for club and country, while he also found the net against Leeds back in November.
