Leeds United will face Bolton Wanderers in an EFL Championship match at Elland Road on Saturday. Leeds are currently sitting at the top of the table with 22 points from their first nine matches, while Bolton are in 15th place with 12 points.
Leeds have been in impressive form so far this season, with six wins, four draws, and only one loss. Their attacking trio of Kemar Roofe, Pablo Hernandez, and Ezgjan Alioski have been in great form, scoring a combined 10 goals in the league so far. Manager Marcelo Bielsa has instilled a high-pressing, possession-based style of play that has taken the Championship by storm.
Bolton, on the other hand, have been inconsistent this season, with three wins, three draws, and three losses. They have struggled in front of goal, scoring just nine goals in their nine matches. Manager Phil Parkinson will be looking for his team to improve their attacking output in order to climb up the table.
In terms of head-to-head records, Leeds have the upper hand, with five wins in their last six meetings with Bolton. However, Bolton did manage to secure a 2-1 win at Elland Road last season, so Leeds will be looking for revenge in this match.
Overall, Leeds United will be the favorites in this match, given their strong form and home advantage. Bolton will need to put in a solid defensive performance and be clinical in front of goal if they are to come away with any points from this tough away fixture.
