Premier League: Leeds vs Manchester United 18/10/2026

Betting on Asian Handicap

Judging by what we see on the pitch, Leeds are proving right those who thought they had a top-half side this year. After the first six rounds they’re 2-3-1, with the best defence in the league, and their only defeat came last round, away at Arsenal.

Manchester United’s misery continues this season, with their worst start in 40 years. The break doesn’t seem to have done them any good, as they came back with two very poor performances. After the 1-1 at home to Tottenham, they were beaten easily, 2-0 away at Atletico Madrid.

Very solid at the back and creating chances for more than the eight goals they’ve scored so far, Leeds look like the better team right now.

They’re at home, rested, and facing an opponent in very poor shape, one that looks ready to change manager again (for now Carrick stays mainly because of the fans’ backing, but not for much longer). Leeds have the edge for the win.

With the odds fairly evenly split, you can find a good price even on the DNB. I’ll take a bit more risk and a price above 2.00, going with the Asian -0.25.
