New Leeds United recruit Ian Poveda fancied for flying start against Millwall

NEW RECRUIT Ian Poveda is already rated one of Leeds United's chief goal threats for Tuesday evening's Championship hosting of Millwall.

England under-20s winger Poveda only joined the Whites from Manchester City in a permanent deal on Friday but the 19-year-old has already been impressing in training.

It appears likely that Poveda will start Tuesday night's clash against the Lions from the bench but the teen is still joint second favourite to score first at 9-2 with SkyBet and the same price as Helder Costa and the fit again Tyler Roberts.

The trio are all 15-8 to score at any point in the contest and fractionally ahead of Jack Harrison and Pablo Hernandez in both markets.

With new striker signing Jean-Kevin Augustin having only joined on Monday and set to watch from the stands, Whites no 9 Patrick Bamford is again favourite to score first at 4-1 and 7-5 to net any time at all - both with Bet365.

Jed Wallace, Matt Smith and Tom Bradshaw are regarded as the chief Millwall threats with the trio all 9-1 to net first with SkyBet and 7-2 to net at any point during the contest.

Millwall have lost just one of their last 13 league games - winning seven of them - yet Leeds are once again heavy odds on with Gary Rowett's Lions readily dismissed by the bookmakers.

As was also the case with recent LS11 victors Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall are big odds with almost 7-1 (34-5 with VBet) on offer about a side who are eighth and just two points off the play-offs.

Leeds have savoured victory in just one of their last seven league games but are still no bigger than 4-7 across the board with 31-10 on offer about the draw.

A 1-0 Whites win is rated the most likely scorecast at 21-4, closely followed by 2-0 at 32-5.
