Leeds United vs Wigan prediction: Patrick Bamford will react positively to feeling the Nketiah heat

After last weekend's frustration was eased by Tuesday's serene Carabao Cup progress, Leeds will be looking to build on that momentum in the short trip to Wigan.

Bookies thepools.com make them odds on to do just that.

But if you're planning a punt, make sure you read the best betting preview out there by the man who knows Leeds best, Joe Mewis .

Win, lose or draw?


Leeds dominated Nottingham Forest at the weekend only to be pegged back with a late equaliser, but they should make their quality show at Wigan. The away win is 10/11 with thepools.com .
 


Who's a good bet for first scorer?


Pablo Hernandez has netted first in both of Leeds' Championship games so far, and he's s still decent 11/2 first scorer and 15/8 any time with thepools.com

But if you're looking for another name then Patrick Bamford has loan signing Eddie Nketiah breathing down his neck, so back the former Boro striker to bag. He's 15/4 first scorer and 13/10 any time .
 

 


Who's on the naughty step? (first card)

Mateusz Klich was booked on Tuesday night at Salford and has a growing reputation of a mischief-maker so could be worth a go.

Who's on pens?
 

Leeds have already been denied a few clear penalties this season, but back Hernandez to put the ball in the back of the net if/when they are finally awarded a spot kick. 
 


Will Leeds team keep a clean sheet?
 

Yes. Kiko Casilla kept his first clean sheet of the new campaign midweek and Leeds will look to dominate possession and suffocate The Latics' attack, much as they did at the DW Stadium last season.
