Leeds backed for promotion following Bielsa appointment

Leeds could be returning to the Premier League, according to the punters.

Leeds United are being backed to return to the Premier League, following the appointment of Marcelo Bielsa at the club.

They’re the most popular bet for promotion, with 46% of all bets in the market placed on the Yorkshire side returning to the big time.

The Whites are just fifth favourites to do so, only behind the likes of Stoke, West Brom, Middlesbrough and Swansea in the race for promotion.

Bielsa’s side are 9/2 for promotion and are 16/1 to storm the table in the 18/19 season and win the Championship.

Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “There are a plethora of terms to describe Marcelo Bielsa with – but boring certainly isn’t one of them.

“It's been a circus at Leeds for the past few seasons, with managers coming and going at a rate of knots. Fans of the illustrious club will be hoping Bielsa can recruit well and bring some stability to the club long term, and punters have lumped on them returning to the big time.”
