With such close links to Manchester United, this game almost has a derby feeling around it.
Leeds are expected to play a weakened side as they focus in on the Championship. Nevertheless, they will still be expecting to return home with the win and a place in the next round draw.
Salford kick started their first ever season in the Football League well with a 2-0 win over Stevenage. However, the newcomers were quickly brought back down to earth as Crawley Town beat them by that same scoreline.
Leeds, meanwhile, impressed against Bristol City winning 3-1 before drawing 1-1 against Nottingham Forest in their first league game at Elland Road.
Looking at the betting, it’s clear who the bookies are favouring. With Leeds priced at 4/9 they don’t offer much interest in the outright market.
Therefore, our recommendation is to back the away side to win by a margin of two goals at the price of 7/2.
