Leeds United vs Brentford is a Premier League Gameweek 2 clash at Elland Road on Sunday at 2pm, with two winning sides meeting in a competitive-looking contest.

Both Leeds and Brentford began with victories and arrive full of confidence. Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.

Premium Tips

Andy narrowly favours Leeds, whose Elland Road backing gives them the edge.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Both teams to score and Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime23/10Both sides arrived with attacking statements on opening weekend: Leeds ground out a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, while Brentford put three past Tottenham at home, so neither manager is likely to sit back at Elland Road. Calvert-Lewin was Leeds’ talisman last term, finishing as the club’s top scorer and continuing to lead their line as the main goal outlet again this season. Brentford’s own forward line, spearheaded by Igor Thiago and Dango Ouattara, has the firepower to trouble a Leeds defence that shipped plenty of goals last season. With goals expected at both ends and Calvert-Lewin central to everything Leeds create, this combination has clear appeal.
Ethan Ampadu to be booked, Harry Wilson and Dango Ouattara over 0.5 shots on target10/1Ampadu was Leeds’ most-cautioned player last season and has already picked up a card in the opening round this term, reflecting his role as the combative anchor shielding the back four in Farke’s setup – exactly the kind of duel-heavy job that invites referee attention in a physical, high-intensity fixture. On the attacking side, Wilson arrives at Leeds as a proven set-piece and shooting threat from wide areas, while Ouattara has emerged as Brentford’s most frequent shot-taker this season. With both wingers likely to get forward and pull the trigger regularly, backing each to register at least one shot on target looks a reasonable bet.

How Leeds United go into the game

Leeds marked their return to the top flight with a battling 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, a superb start on the road. Elland Road will be at fever pitch for their first home game back.

The Whites feed off their raucous home support and will look to press Brentford hard. Backing up that opening win would make for a dream start to the season.

How Brentford go into the game

Brentford could hardly have started better, sweeping aside Tottenham 3-0 on the opening day. That result underlined their threat and confidence heading to Yorkshire.

The Bees are well-drilled and dangerous, particularly from set-pieces and on the counter. A trip to a rocking Elland Road is a stern test, but they arrive in fine fettle.
