Speaking on the Seaman Says Podcast, David Seaman has predicted the result of Leeds United vs Arsenal.
This is a tough game for Seaman to predict. After all, he is a boyhood Leeds fan as well as an Arsenal legend.
Seaman’s allegiances are certainly split here, and while he wouldn’t mind this game going either way, he’s predicted Arsenal to win this one.
Seaman’s prediction
The former goalkeeper predicted Arsenal to beat Leeds 3-1.
“I’m going to start this one with an away win. I think Arsenal have too much for Leeds. I’m going to go big actually. I’m going to go 4-1 Arsenal,” Seaman’s co-host said.
“I’d take that any day. It’s so hard for me to predict this one. But I’m going to go with Arsenal to win 3-1. No matter what happens I’ll be happy, it’s a win-win and my half-and-half scarf will be out,” Seaman said.
Favourites
This should be an interesting game between two teams that can be brilliant on their days.
However, even the most ardent of Leeds United fans would admit that Arsenal do come into this game as favourites.
The Gunners have lost just one game so far this season and sit at the top of the league, and while Elland Road is a tough stadium to visit, Arsenal seem to have a lot more steel about them this season.
After beating Liverpool 3-2, the Gunners will be riding on the crest of a wave, and if they can carry that sort of performance and momentum into this game, they should be able to brush Leeds aside in convincing fashion.
3-1 is a fair prediction from Seaman, and even as a Leeds supporter he’s had to admit that his former club may have too much for the Whites.
