Prédiction de match du footballeur en Premier League aujourd'hui: Leeds United vs Liverpool

Leeds United analysis

Since returning to the Premier League this season, Leeds United has not shown much competitiveness and has instead fallen into a relegation battle. In 30 league games this season, Leeds United has only achieved a record of 7 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses, temporarily ranking 16th in the league, only 2 points ahead of the relegation zone, and the relegation situation is very grim. Leeds United’s recent form has been erratic, with 2 wins and 2 losses in the last 4 league games. Although this is not bad for a relegation team, Leeds United has conceded goals in 6 consecutive league games, with a total of 15 goals conceded by opponents and a very poor defensive performance.

At the same time, Leeds United is not a team that is good at playing at home. They have only achieved a record of 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in 15 home games this season, which is a mid-to-lower level in the Premier League. Leeds United’s average number of goals conceded at home this season is 1.6 goals, ranking second from bottom in the Premier League.

There are many reasons for Leeds United’s decline in strength, the most important of which is the team’s mistakes in the transfer market. Leeds United lost two key players this season: Raphinha and Phillips, which greatly reduced their strength. Raphinha was Leeds United’s core player last season and was able to provide strong offensive threats and defensive support on the right.

Phillips is an England international who can stabilize the midfield and link up attacks from his defensive midfield position. Although the team spent €100 million to strengthen their squad, the effect was very average. New signings such as Rodrigo, Sinestra and Philbo have not reached their expected level and cannot fill the gaps in the team.

If Leeds United can resist Liverpool’s attack at home and seize the opportunity to counterattack and score, then they may create a surprise. If Leeds United cannot get points in this game, they will fall into an even more dangerous situation and may even be overtaken by other relegation teams and lose their Premier League qualification. Therefore, Leeds United must fight for victory in this game and show their fighting spirit and confidence.

Liverpool analysis

Liverpool has shown unprecedented sluggishness this season. After 29 league games, they have only achieved a record of 12 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, temporarily ranking 8th in the league, 12 points behind the Champions League zone. It is almost impossible to enter the top four at the end of the season. Moreover, Liverpool’s recent form has been completely lost, with no wins in 4 league games. They were killed by Real Madrid in two rounds of the Champions League. In the last home game against league leaders Arsenal, although they finally stubbornly drew with league leaders Arsenal, their first-half performance can only be described as terrible.

Liverpool’s performance this season has been poor, and their away record has been even worse. In 15 away league games, Liverpool has only achieved a record of 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses, scoring only 14 goals and conceding 24 goals. This is not the performance of a strong team. What’s even more frightening is that Liverpool has drawn 2 and lost 2 in their last 4 away league games without scoring a goal.

There are many reasons for Liverpool’s decline in strength, the most important of which is that the team has suffered a huge blow in terms of injuries. Liverpool lost many key players this season, including center-backs Van Dijk, Gomez and Matip, midfielders Henderson, Keita and Thiago and forwards Salah and Mane.

The absence of these players has left Liverpool with personnel gaps and a decline in strength in all positions, causing the team to lose balance and efficiency in both offense and defense. Although the injury situation within the team has improved recently, it will take time and adjustment to return to their previous level.

Facing relegation-threatened Leeds United, if they can break their goal drought away from home and seize the opportunity to break through their opponent’s gate, then they may end their embarrassing away winless streak. If Liverpool cannot get points in this game, they will continue to lag behind other teams fighting for fourth place in the league and may even be overtaken by other chasing teams and lose their European qualification.
