Liverpool – Leeds: Anfield set for a raucous night 
Liverpool host Leeds on Thursday at Anfield in a much better state than last autumn. The Reds have picked up momentum in recent weeks, while Leeds — after a long struggle — arrive with renewed confidence. All the ingredients are in place for an open game.
Liverpool: momentum back, but still fragile at the back 
Liverpool finally look to have turned the page on their wobble. After a messy spell around the November international break, Arne Slot’s side have hauled themselves up with authority. Wins are coming, even against decent opponents, and the group have rediscovered a collective control.
The win over Wolves at Anfield confirmed that upward trend. In attack, Liverpool are sharp and can sprint into gear at any moment. Defensively, though, questions remain. Clean sheets are rare and opponents still create chances.
At home the Reds will want to set a high tempo from the first whistle, while avoiding the lapses that have cost them in recent months.
Leeds: a revival that’s changed the picture 
Long tipped to be in real trouble, Leeds have reacted at the right moment. Recent results have given Daniel Farke’s team some breathing room, and they look to have found a better balance between caution and going forward.
The draw at Sunderland confirmed that solidity, while the win over Chelsea was a genuine turning point for the Whites. On the road Leeds now play without complexes, keen to exploit any bit of space.
Up front the confidence is clear and the danger can come from several players. Even against Liverpool, Leeds won’t be content to sit back for 90 minutes.

Liverpool :
Alisson ; Frimpong, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez ; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch ; Wirtz, Ekitike, Chiesa

Prediction Liverpool vs Leeds
Liverpool to win and both teams to score
Liverpool arrive with better momentum and should take control at Anfield. However, the Reds’ defensive frailty suggests Leeds can strike back. In an open scenario Liverpool have the means to win, but they won’t shut the door completely behind them.
First: a quick word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot reading, never a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, it usually isn’t. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch the money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over your life, annoys you or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, talk to a specialised organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s law. Gambling can spiral quickly (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plainly: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Information that changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when it’s written. But in the meantime a line-up (like Liverpool’s) can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, simply check that gambling is legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling above all
We won’t repeat it enough: play in moderation. If you struggle to stay in control, don’t wait to seek help. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information published on the site.
