The new round of the English Premier League brings us a handful of great matches. One of them is the meeting in which Tottenham will welcome the Leeds at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham is currently in fourth place in the Premier League and they are playing quite impressively this season. He is entering into this match after two defeats in a row, against Liverpool in the league and against Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup. Conte’s team needs a win at home ground to secure a spot in the top 4 before going to winter break for the World Cup in Qatar.
Richarlison and Kulusevski are back in the squad after recovering from injury but the team will still be without Son.
After a fantastic first season after entering the Premier League the previous year, Leeds was a team fighting to stay up. Before this season, they made several changes within the team, but this season they are again one of the teams whose main goal is to avoid relegation.
Leeds had a fantastic start to this season, after the first three rounds they were on seven points. This was followed by a black streak of eight games without a win, which was ended at Anfield against Liverpool. Then in the last round Leeds won again in a match against Bournemouth but lost in the EFL Cup against Wolves.
Since the beginning of the season, Leeds have had huge problems with the defenders and they also had big problems with absences. He still can't count on Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw and Luis Sinisterra, but Bamford and Rodrigo have recovered and with them in the team, Leeds is much more dangerous.
This will be a direct clash of teams whose main goals are totally opposite. The big question is how Leeds will respond to Tottenham’s high pressing in this match, and that will determine the match. However, both teams allow a large number of goal chances and considering the style of football we will certainly see a large number of chances from both sides and therefore betting on goals is the best choice for this event.

The French Ligue 1 returns to the small screens this weekend with the matches of the 15th round. The first match of this round is played at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais between home team Lyon and Nice on Friday evening.
Lyon is currently in eighth place in the championship table and they are not playing very well this season. They were beaten 1-0 by Igor Tudor's Marseille last weekend, ending their 2-match league winning streak. In this round they will compete against Nice, who has only 1 point less than Lyon, and is one place behind them. This will be an interesting match and we can't wait to see who will emerge as the winner of this match.

Unlike Lyon, Nice is playing in much better form, where they are unbeaten in their last 6 games in all competitions, while they have a record of 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 league games. Last week they won 1-0 against Brest, and they will hope for a similar result in this match.
Lyon has a good record against Nice with 23 wins in the last 45 matches between them. Lyon and Nice have not played a single draw in the last 10 league games, and the last draw was played back in 2017 and ended with 3-3. The last meeting between them took place in the middle of February this year, where Lyon won 2-0 at home.
Lyon is not playing in the best form this season, while Nice is waking up from the dead. The streak of 5 league games without defeat could continue after this game, where they will hope to get at least one point, but Lyon although isn’t in the best form, at home stadium he is playing great. We can expect goals from both sides, as both teams will looking for 3 points from this match and it should be and open and attractive encounter.
