Leeds vs Bournemouth Preview
- 그리기
- 두 팀 모두 득점
Leeds United will return to Elland Road brimming with confidence after finally finding their scoring touch in last weekend’s 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Whites had gone three games without a goal before their summer signings Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor and Anton Stach all struck in the first half to deliver a much-needed boost. The fact that all the goals came before the interval showcased a revitalised attacking edge, and the performance suggested that Daniel Farke’s men are beginning to gel after a somewhat uneven start to life back in the Premier League.
For Leeds, the three points were crucial not only for the league table but also for morale. The Elland Road faithful had grown concerned after the goalless draws and narrow defeats that marked their first few fixtures, yet the new arrivals have injected both energy and clinical finishing. Their return home offers a chance to consolidate, especially as Leeds are yet to concede at home this season. A third consecutive clean sheet in front of their fans would put them in rare company, with only two promoted sides in Premier League history managing that feat before.
On the other side, Bournemouth arrive in Yorkshire riding the wave of their best-ever start to a Premier League season since 2018/19. Andoni Iraola’s men have collected ten points from their first five matches (W3, D1, L1), with a compact and organised approach proving effective. That return is not only a joint-club record at this stage of the campaign but also enough to see the Cherries sitting in the top four before this round. While their most recent outing – a 0-0 draw with Newcastle – was hardly a spectacle, it was another sign that Bournemouth can grind out results even against tough opposition.
That stalemate did, however, highlight an area of concern for Iraola: scoring goals on the road. Although they’ve netted in each of their last four away league fixtures, consistency in front of goal remains elusive. The manager will hope the likes of Antoine Semenyo can continue to deliver, as his knack for scoring late in games has already proven decisive this term. Bournemouth’s away form – two wins from their last four – shows they are capable travellers, but Elland Road has historically been a tough hunting ground for them.
헤드 투 헤드 기록
Leeds hold a dominant record against Bournemouth, particularly at home. The Whites boast a perfect 100% home league record against the Cherries, winning all seven such meetings. Across all venues, Leeds have also been the superior force historically with 11 wins from 15 competitive encounters (W11, D2, L2).
The last time these sides met at Elland Road in the Premier League, Leeds produced one of the most memorable comebacks in recent top-flight history, overturning a 3-1 deficit to win 4-3 in November 2022. That game remains the last time Leeds scored more than twice in a home Premier League fixture, which adds another layer of intrigue ahead of this contest.
For Bournemouth, the challenge is to finally break their Elland Road hoodoo. While they’ve become a more competitive outfit in recent years, history suggests this will be no easy task.

Key Players to Watch and Missing Players
Leeds’ new signing Noah Okafor is a player to watch after completing the scoring against Wolves.
The Swiss forward tends to thrive in high-scoring encounters, with four of his last five goals at club level coming in matches that produced over 3.5 total goals. His pace and directness could be crucial in stretching Bournemouth’s defence.
방문자를 위해, 앙투안 세메뇨 has emerged as their key attacking threat. He has already scored three goals this term, with all of them arriving between the 60th and 80th minute.
That knack for striking in the latter stages makes him a potential game-changer if the contest remains finely poised heading into the final quarter.
In terms of injuries, Leeds are sweating on the fitness of Jayden Bogle, who picked up a knock against Wolves. However, there is some good news with both Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James edging closer to returns. Bournemouth, meanwhile, may again be without Lewis Cook, who missed the draw against Newcastle due to a shoulder problem.
예측
This match brings together two sides brimming with optimism. Leeds’ resurgence in attack, combined with their perfect defensive record at home, suggests they could have the edge, particularly given their outstanding historical record against Bournemouth at Elland Road. However, Bournemouth’s strong start to the campaign and their ability to grind out results mean they should not be underestimated.
The game is likely to be closely contested, with Leeds relying on the energy of their home crowd to push them forward, while Bournemouth will look to stay compact and hit on the counter. Both sides have shown they can score, but equally, both have displayed resilience in defence at different points this season.
A draw feels like a likely outcome, with Leeds’ dominance at Elland Road cancelling out Bournemouth’s strong form. Goals at both ends are possible, particularly given the attacking talent on display, but don’t be surprised if the spoils are shared.
