Leeds (A) Predictions.

[Isleworth_Bee]

Haven’t seen a thread and this won’t contain any detail like @BFC1997 who’s prediction threads have been very good talking about form etc.

Very tough game IMO regardless of league position. Hostile ground and an opposition who reflect the values of their **** of a manager.

Would be over the moon with a point.

2-2

 

[GP200]

............,.1-1..............

 

[brooks]

1-1

 

[finsbury_bee]

Leeds have been a bit unlucky recently and from what I’ve seen they’ve been playing well. Hopefully their luck doesn’t turn tomorrow. Bees win 2-1 to take us 1 more win from the magic 35.

 

[Beelieve!]

Bees win, up to 6th

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

2-0 win. Toney and JDS.

 

[ChrisSmith1992]

1-1

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

1-1

 

[Aylesbury Bee]

Another Ivan hat trick would be nice …. repeat of the home game, 5:2 to the Bees.

 

[Stofer]

Leeds can’t defend but they do look really good in attack, so I’m going for 3-3.

 

[BFC1997]

If you are looking at the table and thinking we should be clear favourites for this, think again.

Casting the Leeds Derangement Syndrome present on this board aside, it should be recognised that they’ve been a little bit in a false league position. They may only be one point ahead of last week’s opponents Bournemouth right now but they are a different level of outfit and much, much less likely to be relegated.

The scoreline of our home victory over Leeds certainly flattered us, and on another day we might have dropped points.

FiveThirtyEight narrowly calculates the most likely result as a Leeds win:



I’m a little bit worried about this one myself, our 4-3-3 looked like a “work in progress” last week. If we go 3-5-2, it may be a safer bet, but it means we will defend deeper and have to absorb a lot of pressure under an intense atmosphere. We struggled with that away to Villa and Newcastle and crumbled early on.

If we, once again, don’t have Henry available to play at left back (or if he is not 100% on his return to fitness) that will have a big impact as well, as (and particularly in a 3-5-2) he is a such an important outlet with his pace.

So with all that in mind I’ll predict 2-0 Leeds I’d be seriously delighted with a point.

 

[Johninbangkok]

A poor Championship team scored 2 goals so we should have no difficulty scoring
With our defence as it is, a win should be on the cards

 

[Alan D]

I watched parts of their last two matches against Villa and Cardiff and being fair they looked a very decent side. Unlucky to lose at Villa and thumped Cardiff, who were pretty poor to say the least. This will be a real test and I'd be very happy to walk away with a point. Heart says 2-2, but head says we will lose 2-1

 

[kaebess]

More than two goals for sure. 3 - 2 to the non European champions of old

 

[Mr Cynical]

Intense game, end to end, could be a lot of goals. Will happily take a point here 2-2 Schade and Mbeumo

 

[Wise old Bee]

Up until recently I was confident that Leeds didn't offer anything much up front but Gnonto has looked dangerous in the last few games and Bamford, who has been our nemesis in the past, looks to be back fit again. If we keep them out for the first half hour I think we will be OK and it is a case of how brave TF is prepared to be with substitutions. Happy with a draw all the same.

 

[Mr Cynical]

Am actually quite worried about this one, particularly if Rico isn't fit.. Would be happy to come away with a point. Always a difficult place to go.

 

[Norfolk Bee]

I'll go for a hard fought draw.2-2, but no last minute equalisers thank you very much. IT and BM to score.

 

[Lozza]

Watched Leeds give Villa a footballing lesson and contrive to lose. My optimism blunted there and then.
Fear a three nil defeat in a match where we don't get the rub of the green.
Hoping to be requoted and accused of defeatism tomorrow afternoon.
Would shake hands if offered nil nil before kick off.

 

[doctor_bee(MBBS)]

Am actually quite worried about this one, particularly if Rico isn't fit.. Would be happy to come away with a point. Always a difficult place to go.

My sentiments also. Leeds can be scarily good going forwards. Then again so can we. Would definitely settle for a draw.

 

[addlestone bee]

Its a tricky away game, if we comfortably soak up pressure and cope with the atmosphere we may do well. For me its a game where an away point would be a good result. One point is better than none in the Premier League no matter who the opponents

 

[Cham]

2-0 away win.. Toney pen and late Schade goal

 

[GP200]

and Bamford, who has been our nemesis in the past,

............Bamford...........nemesis????...........stop it.............only if he has scissors in one hand and a blow dryer in the other............did you see his miss at the GTech??????...............

 

[Downbeat Bee]

1-1

 

[James30]

2 1 bees Toney and Norgaard

 

[SmiffyBee]

3-1 to Brentford.

A dominant performance with goals from Pinnock, Toney and Wissa.

 

[Wise old Bee]

............Bamford...........nemesis????...........stop it.............only if he has scissors in one hand and a blow dryer in the other............did you see his miss at the GTech??????...............

Last minute equaliser up there last season, scored in PO semi at our place and the winner for Boro in the league game at GP. Not much really. Gets a lot of cheap comment on here but, at his best, is a quality finisher.

 

[Untouchable]

thumped Cardiff, who were pretty poor to say the least

Cardiff are 21st in the division below Leeds and don’t have a manager.

Leeds have taken 10 points from their last 15 league games.

Leeds haven’t won in the league since the post World Cup restart.

We’re 8th and have aspirations of a top half finish and possibly qualifying for Europe. We’ve recently beaten Man City and Liverpool and are in our longest unbeaten run in the top flight for 9 decades.

I’m glad TF won’t be approaching the game with the negativity of some on here.

 

[Turkish]

3-2 Bees. Schade with a very late winner after two red cards to dirty Leeds. Cannot wait for this one?

 

[Vid]

Leeds Record League defeat: 1-8 v Stoke City, Division One, August 27, 1934.
We need to be on their records page. 0-7 v Brentford PL , January 22, 2023.

 

[AB]

If we approach them as a relegation team we’ll lose. If we approach them as a dangerous attacking team who carry a major threat we can pick them off to win by defending stoutly and exploiting their defensive frailties.

Marsch really needs a league win so they and the crowd will be at us from the start. So hold firm and score on the counter after repelling them for 15-20 mins and let their heads start to drop.

 

[N5022N122]

Wild guess but I think if we score first we will get at least a point

 

[Ken Richardson]

This has a draw written all over ii, but this mob bothers me. so it's Leeds 2-1.

 

[Hippobee]

2-1 Bees, the run goes on. We soak up all the pressure and hit them on the break twice. Mbeumo and Schade.

Late consolation for Leeds, before Ted is sent off (again).

 

[Sianist]

Could see a lot of goals in this one

3-2 Bees win

with the 3rd bees goal done on a somewhat lucky set-piece deep into Overtime

 

[Eieieio]

I never thought I'd see Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea and think 'oooh that's a good result for us'

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

Plenty of goals tomorrow. Don’t think for a minute we’ll get 5 again…

…so I’m going for 4-2 to the superBees.

Toney with 3 and Dasilva the other.

 

[Beelieve!]

Weather the initial storm and we got a chance. We are more “streetwise” than last season, and could see our first choice team players all fit at the same time, for the first time

We aren’t the same Brentford from last season, even if they are good going forward and at home

 

[grepo]

3-1 to us.

 

[Voice from the Braemar]

2-2 (Ivan and Bryan)….we get a late equaliser ….good point ????

 

[halibutbee64]

Leeds are are a decent hard working side but they have cock ups in then. Keep that Italian wiz kid Gnonto quiet and have lady luck on our side.
1-3 bees

 

[Gazza Bee]

Will be goals - 3-2 either way

 

[scott simpson]

Teds side with 85% possession and all the ultra skills on show: 0 - Bus stop defenders: 4. Ivan (P), Ivan (P), Bryan, Kev Schade. Bees wear short shorts!

 

[wibs]

Today's results mean if we win tomorrow we will be in the top 6!

 

[Untouchable]

Today's results mean if we win tomorrow we will be in the top 6!

Imagine the scenes.

Top 6 after 20 games. Above Liverpool and Chelsea.

All the while QPR are sliding down the Championship table and are more likely to be L1 than PL next season.

 

[AB]

Those nice lads at The Square Ball seem not to have done a preview of the game yet. Maybe out of shame from last time round.

 

[coconino]

Today's results mean if we win tomorrow we will be in the top 6!

Yep, other results tonight or tomorrow don’t affect our position, but 3 points and we go 6th, and a draw means 8th.

 

[kendo]

2-2 and end to end stuff!!?

 

[nick logan]

Cardiff are 21st in the division below Leeds and don’t have a manager.

Well said mate

Crazy innit
