Football fans are in for an exciting mid-table clash as Leeds United host Bournemouth at Elland Road. Both sides have reasons to be optimistic, with Leeds bouncing back to winning ways last weekend and Bournemouth surprisingly holding onto a top-four spot after five games.
Match News and Current Form
Leeds United
Leeds finally rediscovered their attacking edge in their 3-1 victory over Wolves, where new signings Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Noah Okafor, and Anton Stach all scored. The goals came as a relief after three straight matches without finding the net. Interestingly, the last time Leeds scored more than twice at Elland Road was back in November 2022, also against Bournemouth – a game that ended 4-3 in Leeds’ favour.
At home, the Whites have been solid defensively, with two clean sheets in two games, and they could make history by becoming the third promoted side to start a Premier League campaign with three home clean sheets.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth followed up their bright start to the season with a 0-0 draw against Newcastle, keeping them in the top four. The Cherries have made their joint-best start to a Premier League season with 10 points from five games (W3, D1, L1). Coach Andoni Iraola will, however, be concerned about their recent lack of goals, though they have managed to score in each of their last four away games (W2, L2).
Head-to-Head Record
Leeds have dominated this fixture historically:
- At Elland Road, Leeds boast a perfect home record (W7) against Bournemouth.
- Overall: Leeds have won 11 of the 15 meetings (W11, D2, L2).
This history makes Elland Road a tough destination for the Cherries.
