Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Leeds United have performed far better at home than away this season, securing 11 of their 14 points at Elland Road. They claimed an impressive 3-1 victory over 4th-placed Chelsea at home midweek. Despite lingering on the brink of the relegation zone and manager Daniel Farke's position being under intense scrutiny, Leeds have shown remarkable resilience in their last two matches—defeating Chelsea and coming from two goals down to draw with Manchester City.
Liverpool's performance this season has been highly disappointing. Beyond the poor form of attackers Salah and Isak, the decline of defenders Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté has effectively ended their title challenge. Their recent 1-1 draw with Sunderland, secured only by an own goal from Florian Wirtz, highlighted manager Arne Slot's struggle to adjust tactics, with the team still mired in a slump.
Summary:
Leeds have faced three traditional powerhouses in their last three matches—while their results are impressive, they have incurred significant physical exertion. Liverpool still suffer from major squad structural issues, with persistent poor form on the left flank from Kerkez and Gakpo, leaving them reliant on occasional moments of individual brilliance for goals. The Asian Handicap of Liverpool -0.5 with low odds indicates public confidence in the Reds remains low. Therefore, Leeds United are favored to avoid defeat at home.
