Leeds United vs Birmingham City odds: Bamford tipped to score first during centenary celebrations

Leeds will be marching on together to their Centenery celebrations as they welcome Birmingham City to Elland Road.

Bielsa’s side faces a headache many manager’s dream of having - which goalscorer to choose from?

The Pools spoke to Leeds Live’s Joe Mewis on this weekend’s historic match:

Recommended bets:

  • Leeds to win 2-0 - 5/1
  • Patrick Bamford to score first - 3/1

Win, lose or draw?

With Leeds celebrating their Centenary this week, Saturday will be a huge occasion at Elland Road and ill back Leeds to send a huge crowd home happy. A 2-0 win at 5/1 after Marcelo Bielsa had two weeks to prepare for this one.

Who’s a good bet for 1st scorer?

The big debate at Leeds right now is the Patrick Bamford ( 3/1 ) vs Eddie Nketiah ( 3/1 ) striker debate. The Arsenal man was in fine form over the international break, but I have a hunch Bamford will replay Bielsa's faith in him by netting first.

Who’s on the naughty step?

Gaetano Beradi saw his red card last time out rescinded and should start on Saturday, but is always a decent shout for a card.

Who’s on pens?

Who knows? Klich missed his last spot kick, so perhaps it goes back to Bamford ( Evs anytime )?

Will you keep a clean sheet?

Leeds have an excellent defensive record this season so I'd back them to keep another clean sheet at 5/6 .
