Leeds United boost expected before start of new Premier League campaign

Leeds United are expected to approach the new season with one final boost from this evening’s pre-season friendly against Cagliari at Elland Road.

Leeds will take in their final warm-up game before next Saturday’s Premier League opener at home to Wolves when recently-relegated Serie B side Cagliari line up in West Yorkshire for a 6.45pm kick-off.

Jesse Marsch's side are 11-10 favourites with Bet365 to record a victory in front of their own fans whereas Cagliari can be backed at 2-1.

The draw is on offer at 12-5 and a 1-0 win for the hosts is rated the most likely outcome of a Leeds triumph at 8-1.
