Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the EFL Cup match.
Leeds United
Leeds had a good pre-season, beating Harrogate Town (3:0) and Valencia (2:1), this shows they do well in attack. Against newcomer Portsmouth (3:3), the team even had to come back twice. Even though the American Brenden Aaronson scored in the 95th minute, after he made a terrible mistake. Leeds had 23 shots with 10 on target in 90 minutes. They like to play attacking football.
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, scored less against Swansea (1:0), but they could do better (19-3 on shots). In the EFL Cup, they might start new player Delano Burgzorg, who played for 10 minutes on Sunday. Now he is ready to play in the lineup.
Leeds United - Middlesbrough Prediction
In the recent Championship, Leeds twice won over Middlesbrough in tough games (3:2 and 4:3). The teams are eager to play in attack, we can expect many mistakes in defence.
