Correct score
Leeds 1-2 Chelsea
The model's likeliest scoreline. Exact-score markets pay well and land rarely, so stake lightly.
How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Leeds United
Leeds are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball at Elland Road, but short of the creativity to dominate.
Away
Chelsea
A side with title-level depth. Chelsea tend to suffocate opponents on their trip to Elland Road, so Leeds will need a disciplined, low block.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Chelsea name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Leeds score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.

We project 1.09 expected goals for Leeds and 1.89 for Chelsea; run that through thousands of simulated matches and Chelsea win 56% of them.
