2% Rotation #200737: EFL Cup | First Round: Wednesday 2% OVER 2.5 -175 in Leeds United vs Middlesbrough @ 3 ET - Laying a little extra juice to make 3 a win number here but I am expecting 4 or more goals in this one. 3 of the last 4 meetings between these clubs have, in fact, totaled 4 or more goals including each of the last two meetings. I know Middlesbrough is off a tight 1-0 win but hosting Swansea City compared to visiting Leeds United makes for an entirely different kettle of fish as they say! This is going to be a very challenging road match for Middlesbrough but they were one of the league's best last season with 41 goals scored in 23 matches on their travels. As a host, Leeds United was fantastic with 49 goals scored in 25 matches at home. Leeds is off a surprising 3-3 draw with newly promoted Portsmouth last week. They certainly showed some defensive frailty in that match-up and now some players will be rested here as well. There is no discounting the attacking ability and depth of Leeds United however. That said, they will again push the tempo here and are a solid favorite on their home pitch with good reason. However, i also certainly do not envision a solid Middlesbrough club coming up empty here either. That said, the goals should fly in this one with a 3-1 or 3-2 type match and, at the very least a 2-1 the way I see this one playing out. 2% OVER 2.5 -175 in Leeds United
