This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 26 goals scored and 35 conceded in away matches, against 30 goals scored and 27 conceded at home. In the last 10 away league matches Leeds United has a record of 3 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 3 points out of 30 possible. Their defense has not been very solid, since they suffered at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition.
