The newcomer has already caused a sensation this season and is a real asset to the Premier League, not only thanks to the outstanding head coach Marcelo Bielsa. The Whites' style of play in particular is extremely attractive, because the way forward is always sought.

However, Whites football has changed a bit in the past few weeks. The peat festivals have become rarer, because the Bielsa-Elf has recently been able to distinguish itself through a very strong defensive. Goalkeeper Ilhan Meslier has kept his box clean in three of the last four home games at Elland Road.

Sheffield United stats & current form
Chris Wilder was allowed to train Sheffield United's Blades for 227 games before the "special journey” came to an end by mutual agreement. After the team presented the big positive surprise last season, nothing came together in 2020/21.

Despite 22 defeats in 28 league games, the reason for the dismissal was probably not the sporting failure, but the different views of the owner and Wilder regarding the squad planning for the coming season.

Previous assistant coach takes over
Under Chris Wilder, the "overlapping central defender" established himself in the five-man chain. The full-backs often moved to the center and the outer central defender thus had room for cross-runs. The unusual style of play brought long success, but over time the opponents were able to adapt better to it.

For the rest of the season, the previous assistant coach Paul Heckingbottom, who was head coach for 16 games at Leeds United between February and June 2018, will take over. In the first two competitive games under the new coach there was still no improvement in performance - 0: 5 against Leicester and 0: 2 against Chelsea were the sobering results.

Weakest offensive in the league
The statistics of the expected goals have been used more and more frequently in recent months. Measured against the existing chances, the blades should have scored 26.8 goals so far this season - but the bare truth only throws 16 goals this season. No less than 244 shots on goal were fired for these 16 goals this season, so just 6.56 percent of the goals were successful.

The statistics are particularly devastating when they are away from home, with just six goals scored in 14 league games (Sheffield missed nine goals). The bare numbers do not speak for the prediction of a surprise for the guests on Saturday in the duel between Leeds and Sheffield United.

Ramsdale - Stevens, Jagielka, Baldock - Osborn, Norwood, Fleck, Lundstram, Bogle - McGoldrick, McBurnie

Bet base forecast & Leeds - Sheffield United tip
In view of the ongoing negative run of the guest in the derby between Leeds and Sheffield United, the tip on the home win seems the logical choice. But do betting odds of a maximum of 1.54 - offered by the bookmaker Betsson we tested - actually offer value? At least the answer to this question is by no means easy.
Free soccer tips
Marcelo Bielsa's Whites play a very attractive football and have recently actually been able to stabilize the often scolded defense. Advantages of form are certainly to be found with the home side, but the two teams do not necessarily take a lot from each other in terms of quality.
Free soccer predictions
Sheffield can now play completely free, because not even the most daring optimists believe in relegation. Statistically speaking, the prognosis for the double chance X2 between Leeds and Sheffield United cannot be proven, but with odds of over 2.60 the value cannot be dismissed - a moderate four units are chosen as stakes.
