Leeds United’s Winning Formula: Score First, Win Big
Leeds United’s impressive start to the Championship season has uncovered a telling statistic: when they score first under Daniel Farke, they win almost every time.
According to @LUFCDATA, Leeds have amassed an incredible 84 points out of 90 when scoring first, with 27 victories from 30 games. This remarkable record has been instrumental in their success, including last season’s playoff final appearance.
The numbers are staggering: 68 goals scored and just 10 conceded when Leeds open the scoring. Opponents seem to struggle to recover from conceding first, often failing to pose a significant goal threat.
Farke’s side sits second in the Championship table, with a growing gap between themselves and those outside the playoff positions. Their seven wins from 13 games have established a solid foundation, despite summer transfer market uncertainty.
This winning formula could prove pivotal in Leeds’ quest for automatic promotion. With the division appearing closer this season, their ability to seal victories after scoring first will be crucial.
As Leeds prepares for their next challenge against Millwall, Farke will look to maintain this impressive record and propel his team toward promotion.
