On Sunday the 26th, London's Wembley Stadium was glittering with stars as Leeds United and Southampton went head-to-head. This "billion dollar match" for promotion to the Premier League has touched the hearts of countless fans. The winner of the match will not only have a huge income for the next season, but also the fate of the coming year. Therefore, both sides are extremely cautious in the game, trying to avoid any mistakes, and the details of the 2.5 goals betting is particularly stable.
According to the British media, once promoted to the Premier League, the Champions League team can share at least 100 million pounds a year in television broadcasting fees and bonuses. Lured by this huge profit, Leeds United and Southampton swore to fight each other like wolves and tigers. Both sides know that this battle is not only about honor, but also about money, so they are on high alert to avoid being caught by their opponents.
Looking back at the quarterfinals of the playoffs, Leeds United showed typical conservative tactics and drew 0-0 in the first leg with Norwich before winning the second leg at home. Southampton also knocked out West Bromwich Albion in the last four of the play-offs, and their road to promotion was the same as that of Leeds United. With a 0-0 draw on the road and a comeback win at home, it will be interesting to see if Southampton can repeat their success when the two teams move to Wembley Stadium today.
In fact, in the last four legal periods in which the Champions League progressed to the play-off finals, there were two matches with a total of two goals or fewer, and both required extra time to separate the winners from the losers. This is a good indication that matches are often deadlocked, so it becomes particularly important to focus on the exact number of goals scored.
