Team Strength Overview:

After a trophy-less season last term, Manchester United are united as a team this season. There have been multiple transfer rumors surrounding them in the recent window, including players who performed well in Europe’s top five leagues last season such as Mbeumo and Zeqiri. United have already signed Matheus Cunha and Diego León to strengthen the squad. Under Amorim’s management this season, the team’s goal is surely to fight for a Champions League spot.

As for Leeds United, they returned to the Premier League successfully last season as Championship winners. The team has been active in the summer transfer window recently: first, they signed Lucas Nmecha from Wolfsburg on a free transfer and Bohun for €6 million; then they signed Swedish international Gudmundsson from Lille for €11.6 million; and also brought in Slovenian defender Bijol, who performed well in Serie A last season, from Udinese. The team’s primary aim this season is certainly to stay in the Premier League.

Major Asian bookmakers generally opened with an initial handicap of Manchester United -0.5 for this match; for European odds, the initial average was 1.71-3.81-4.10. The Asian handicap remains stable, while there are still some changes in European odds, with United’s odds continuing to rise. Since this is a pre-season friendly, both teams still need some adjustment in their lineups. Referring to the transfer efforts and overall strength of both teams this season, Manchester United are likely to have the upper hand in this match.

Predicted Goals: 3, 4, 5

Changes in Betting Data:

Centering on major Asian bookmakers, the initial total goals line for this match is set at 3. The odds remain unchanged. Given the nature of a pre-season friendly, both teams may focus particularly on their attacking performance. Considering United’s sluggish attack last season and Leeds United’s strong offensive prowess in the Championship, an end-to-end attacking scenario is quite possible in this match.
