Expert AI analysis

The headline read is Over 2.5 goals at 52.6%, its strongest read on the Over / Under 2.5 Goals market. It is driven by both attacks and defences: Leeds have averaged 1.4 scored and 1.0 conceded, Manchester United 1.8 and 1.4 over their recent games. That fits a balanced goals environment: 52.6% for over 2.5 and 77.1% for at least two goals. Their last 5 meetings have averaged 3.4 goals a game. Leeds have gone over 2.5 in 2 of their last 5, Manchester United in 2 of 5. The published percentage is an estimate, not a guarantee or a measured hit rate.

In-depth analysis

Looking at totals, the model sees 52.6% for three or more goals and 77.1% for at least two, painting a balanced picture. With Leeds favoured at 37.3%, neither side dominating can mean an end-to-end match.

We publish the model, not a sure thing. We score every call against the result after the match.
