Leeds vs Everton Predictions: 18.08.2025 - Premier League Betting Tips

Leeds vs Everton

Leeds are back in the Premier League and welcome Everton to Elland Road to kickstart their campaign. Having recruited heavily during the off-season, Daniel Farke’s side will be hoping they have enough quality to avoid relegation, while the Toffees are optimistic about a quieter season away from the drop zone.

Will a noisy Elland Road act as Leeds’ 12th man and get them over the line? Or will the introduction of Jack Grealish get Everton off to a winning start? If you're looking for betting tips on Premier League games, Nathan Joyes analyses the two teams and provides his best bet.

Hosts will be optimistic

With seven fresh faces in the door before a ball has been kicked, Leeds fans will be fairly content with the business they have done as they return to the Premier League. More bodies will be needed - as Farke has openly said - but they look to be in a solid position at this point.

Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri looks to be a brilliant pick up from Lyon, while all eyes will be on Anton Stach after his £18m move from Hoffenheim. Alongside him Premier League fans will be more aware of Sean Longstaff, who has departed Newcastle to move to Yorkshire.

Leeds held Man United, Villarreal and AC Milan in pre-season friendlies - and fans will be hoping they can match those results against some of the best teams in the league as they look to survive.

Toffees active in the market

Like many Premier League teams during the summer, David Moyes was busy splashing the cash. Similar to Leeds, no less than seven new players are in, including Villarreal’s Thierno Barry, Chelsea’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and most recently, Jack Grealish on loan from Man City.

Throw in Adam Aznou from Bayern, and it’s safe to say Everton fans will be rather pleased with their business considering their recent move to their new stadium. Despite the expensive operation, the board has looked to improve the squad on the pitch - a positive sign, to say the least.

Leeds vs Everton head to head

These two sides last locked horns back in 2023, where Everton came out narrow 1-0 winners at Goodison Park. The last meeting at Elland Road finished 1-1 that season, where Anthony Gordon’s opener was cancelled out by Luis Sinisterra’s goal in the second half.

It’s worth pointing out that Leeds haven’t beaten Everton since 2020 - six matches ago.

Our Leeds vs Everton betting tip

With both sides recruiting smartly over the summer, this match looks set to be a close contest as Leeds find their feet back in the Premier League. With that in mind, let’s jump into our best bet and provide you with some of the best Premier League odds for Monday's game.

Entertaining draw an attractive price

The last time these two sides clashed at Elland Road back in 2023 it ended in a 1-1 draw - and a similar scoreline looks entirely possible this time round.

Leeds won’t want to lose their opening Premier League match - especially at home - while Everton will know the threat the hosts will carry in front of their own fans.

Yet both sides have recruited smartly, improving their squad across the park. As mentioned, Leeds have a top goalkeeper between the sticks, and his leadership will hopefully bring a calmness to their back line.

Everton have a lot of attacking talent in the final third, but David Moyes knows how to be cautious - especially on the road - and a more reserved approach in round one could be on the cards.

Both teams have recruited well and an opening day draw currently priced at 9/4 with Betfred could be a smart play rather than trying to work out who will create a moment of quality capable of winning this tricky looking tie. Good luck if you’re following.
