Leeds United welcome Everton to Elland Road on 18 August 2025, with kick-off set for 20:00 GMT in the Premier League. This historic clash sees two sides with contrasting ambitions: Leeds looking to cement themselves as a consistent mid-table force, while Everton continue to battle against the reputation of perennial relegation strugglers.
Football Park’s data-driven prediction model suggests this will be a high-intensity contest, with the algorithm assigning Leeds a 41.7% chance of victory, compared to 15% for Everton, and a 43.3% probability of a draw. That distribution highlights the difficulty Everton face on the road but also underlines that Leeds cannot expect a straightforward evening.
Our in-house betting experts believe this fixture presents strong value in two specific markets: a home win for Leeds and a goals market where both sides are likely to score.
The Football Park algorithm forecasts:
Home Win Probability: 41.70%
Away Win Probability: 15.00%
Draw Probability: 43.30%
Correct Score Projection: 2-1 Leeds
This match is projected to be goal-heavy compared to the Premier League average. With an expected total of 2.90 goals and a 70% probability of both teams scoring, bettors should expect attacking intent from the outset. Leeds’ pressing style at Elland Road often leaves space for opponents, while Everton’s defensive frailties make them highly vulnerable on the counter.
Over 0.5 Match Goals – 100% probability | Odds: 1.10
Over 1.5 Match Goals – 90% probability | Odds: 1.33
These bets reflect the model’s confidence in a minimum of two goals being scored, with near-certainty that this match won’t end goalless.
30 Aug 2022: Leeds 1-1 Everton – A balanced contest defined by defensive resilience.
21 Aug 2021: Leeds 2-2 Everton – High tempo, end-to-end attacking football.
03 Feb 2021: Leeds 1-2 Everton – Everton secured a rare away win with clinical finishing.
25 Sep 2012: Leeds 2-1 Everton – A League Cup upset showcasing Leeds’ fighting spirit.
The historical data paints a picture of consistently tight matches, with both teams regularly finding the net. In fact, each of their last four meetings has produced both teams to score, aligning strongly with our algorithm’s 70% BTTS projection.
Leeds thrive on high pressing, energy, and breaking defensive lines with runners from midfield. Their attacking blueprint means goals are almost inevitable, but it also leaves them exposed, especially against teams willing to exploit counter-attacks.
Everton under pressure often drop deeper, relying on defensive blocks and opportunistic transitions. While this conservative approach reduces their scoring volume, it creates the kind of match where they still manage to nick goals even under heavy pressure.
Expect Leeds to dominate possession and territory, while Everton look to frustrate before striking sporadically.
Football Park’s expert betting analysis identifies two strong value selections:
Leeds to Win @ 2.30 – With a 41.7% model probability and Everton’s away weakness, this represents strong value at above-even odds.
Both Teams to Score @ 1.80 – Backed by a 70% model probability and supported by historical head-to-heads, this is one of the standout bets of the round.
Punters looking for higher-risk, higher-reward plays could explore the 2-1 correct score line, which aligns with the model’s most likely outcome.
