Leeds v QPR prediction - Eddie Nketiah can take advantage of unexpected opportunity

After back to back draws on the road, can Leeds bounce back with a home win over QPR?

We asked our Elland Road expert Joe Mewis for his verdict on Saturday's clash.

Win, lose or draw

After back-to-back draws on the road, Leeds are due a win. 2-0. The home win is 1/2 but if you fancy that 2-0 correct score it's a much more attractive 13/2 .

Who's a good tip for first goalscorer?

Patrick Bamford is struggling with an ankle problem which could hand Eddie Nketiah a first Championship start. Expect him to take full advantage against a side that has not kept a clean sheet all season. He's 7/2 to score first and 11/10 to register any time .

Who's on the naughty step?

According to the Fair Play table, Leeds are the cleanest side in the league. No Leeds players have been booked in the last two games, so why not back them to stay out of trouble for a third week?

Who's on pens?

If Eddie Nketiah starts, expect him to grab the ball if Leeds are awarded a spot kick (See prices above).

Will Leeds keep a clean sheet?

Yes. Leeds have conceded fewer goals than anyone else in the Championship and their back-line will only be strengthened by the return of skipper Liam Cooper following his month-long absence. Which makes BTTS 'No' a great bet at 19/20 .
