Everton vs Leeds United Betting Analysis

Managerless Leeds will take to the field once again on Saturday after back-to-back fixtures against Manchester United over recent games.

A surprising take from the entire Jesse Marsch exit saga at Leeds has been how little interest there has been in taking over duties at Elland Road, with numerous managers already turning down the position down at the time of writing.

Everton meanwhile have already got their new man in the form of former Burnley manager Sean Dyche a couple of weeks ago, who has since guided them to a vital three points against Arsenal in his opening game two weeks ago and gave cross-city rivals Liverpool a real test last weekend also.

Both teams have split each of their last two meetings in this venue since the start of the 2020/21 campaign, but in that prior meeting last February, Everton destroyed Leeds 3-0 in what was former boss Frank Lampard’s first game in charge at Goodison Park.

Leeds Record Belies Their Data This Season

The Whites are winless in nine straight league games heading into this fixture and are one of only two teams yet to register a win over 2023 so far, but those results arguably haven’t been all that fair to Leeds as they’ve posted some solid data this season.

Leeds rank top ten in offensive xG this year, as well as top ten in both shots on target per 90 minutes and non-penalty expected goals as well, so if they can find that right formula up front, along with the right manager, they could very well be a dangerous side moving forward.

Dyche Encourages Hostile Goodison Atmosphere For Opponents

With Everton fans still planning on staging a pre-match protest against the Everton board before Saturday’s kick-off against Leeds, Sean Dyche has urged supporters to turn that same energy into making Goodison Park one of the most hostile grounds in the Premier League for opposing teams to visit as they continue in their bid for survival this year.

That’s something that has worked for Dyche in the past, with Burnley generating five of their seven wins at home last season.

Everton vs Leeds United Prediction

This is a very tricky game to call on Saturday as while Everton look a far more settled team since Sean Dyche took over, and proved how tricky they’re likely to be at home for the rest of the season in that 1-0 win over Arsenal two weeks ago, Leeds are the better team here from a purely talent standpoint, and they have the statistical data to back that up.

However, despite those impressive stats, Leeds look a little rudderless right now and it’s a huge task facing current caretaker boss Michael Skubala to give this team some stability.

Both teams know a win here would go a long way towards ensuring their safety this season, but a loss would be devastating also, so we’re expecting this one to play out in a cagier manner over at Goodison Park this weekend.

Take the outright draw at +230 in this one with a view towards the Under 2.5 goals as well.

Prediction: Draw (+230)
