Free betting Leeds vs. Barnsley Tip 24.08.2022 – EFL Cup

Details:

During the week, head coach Jesse Marsch's in-form side face Barnsley FC in the cup. As expected, the hosts from Leeds are the clear favorites, after all, the upcoming cup opponents will play in League One, the third English division. In the case of Leeds vs. Barnsley, only betting odds of 1.26 are offered for Tip 1.

Will the home record against the Tykes expand?

In any case, Leeds United are clear favorites going into the cup game against Barnsley FC. The Peacocks have not lost a match to the Tykes at Elland Road since November 2011. Most recently, Leeds even had three home wins in a row against Barnsley FC - the last time in July 2020, where Leeds celebrated a 1-0 win against the Tykes.

If that series is extended against the upcoming opponent, Leeds can also work on the recent record in the EFL Cup. In the last four seasons, the Peacocks have not impressed in the League Cup and have even had to bow out in the second round of the second-biggest cup competition on three occasions.

Five players are currently in Leeds United's hospital and will not be available for the upcoming cup game. Marsch will fire up the rotation machine in the match against Barnsley, resting numerous first-guard players. How many reservists will ultimately be deployed remains uncertain for the time being.

Estimated line-up of Leeds:
Klaesson; Drameh, Koch, Hjelde, Struijk; Forshaw, Klich; Summerville, Greenwood, Sinisterra; Gelhardt

Leeds – Barnsley tip

Leeds got off to a sensational start to the season and head into the second round of the League Cup in fine form. The Peacocks have registered the same number of points as the defending champions Manchester in the first three rounds of the 2022/23 Premier League. In addition, the home game against Chelsea was recently won 3-0.

So despite a possible rotation for the cup game against Barnsley FC, we think it's only natural that the ongoing winning streak will continue. With the current squad, a second guard from the Peacocks should still be of quality enough to knock the visitors from Barnsley out of contention.
Key Facts – Leeds vs Barnsley Betting tip

• Across seasons and competitions, Barnsley has lost 13 of 15 matches on foreign soil this calendar year.
• Leeds have prevailed against the Tykes in their last four competitive games.
• Leeds are unbeaten in five competitive games in a row.

We're expecting a high-scoring encounter on Wednesday evening, in which the Leeds Peacocks should ensure a clear balance of power even before the break. Leeds had already scored two first-half goals against Chelsea last week. For Leeds vs Barnsley, i am predicting over 1.5 goals in the first half with a handicap tip for Leeds.
