A fresh boost in Leeds United’s promotion bid is confidently expected with an increased chance of a setback for a key rival.
Third-placed Leeds closed the gap to the division’s top two through Friday night’s 1-0 victory at leaders Leicester City and the bookmakers strongly believe that Daniel Farke’s side will collect another three points with Saturday’s hosting of sixth-bottom Plymouth Argyle. The Whites are long-odds on favourites with every firm and as short as 1-4 but no bigger than 2-7 to beat the newly-promoted Pilgrims who can be backed at 9-1 to leave Elland Road with a victory.
With Plymouth strikers Ryan Hardie and Mustapha Bundu both injured, Morgan Whittaker and Ben Waine are rated the chief Plymouth threats but both are 14-1 to net the game’s first goal, the same price as United’s Lewis Bate. Leeds, Leicester and second-placed Ipswich Town are all involved in Saturday 3pm kick-offs and the bookmakers believe there is a higher chance than normal of Leicester dropping points again.
