Fresh big Leeds United boost expected in promotion quest with 'big gap' as rivals toil

Leeds finally bagged their first victory of the new league season with a 4-3 triumph at last weekend’s hosts Ipswich Town and another Whites step forward is firmly expected in Saturday’s hosting of Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls are toiling without a point at the foot of the division and the bookmakers strongly fancy Daniel Farke’s side to condemn this weekend’s visitors to another defeat.

Leeds are odds-on with every firm for victory and no bigger than 1-2 but as short as 2-5 whereas the Owls can be backed at 13-2 to leave LS11 with all three points. The draw is on offer at 4-1 and Leeds are responsible for the entire top seven in the first scorer market which is headed by Whites new boy Joel Piroe at 4-1.

Georginio Rutter is next at 5s, followed by Joe Gelhardt at 6s before Crysencio Summerville, Willy Gnonto, Dan James and Luis Sinisterra who are all 13-2. There is then a big gap to Owls duo Michael Smith and Lee Gregory who are rated the chief threats for the visitors but still as big as 12-1 to score first. Owls pair Josh Windass and Ashley Fletcher are then both 14s, the same price as United’s Jamie Shackleton.
