Leeds United Championship title odds altered as Whites given most favourable start

Leeds United have seen their Championship title odds lengthen since the weekend. The Whites saw their fixture list released for the new season on Thursday morning with an Elland Road opener against Cardiff City being scheduled for the opening weekend of August.

United have been handed a relatively kind start to life back in the second tier, with games against Birmingham City, West Brom, Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday to follow and with their sights set on promotion, they’ll be keen to get points on the board early. However, Leeds have seen their title odds grow marginally in recent days with the Whites moving from 15/2 to 8/1 with bet365.

It’s only a small change, but Leeds are now level with Southampton and some way behind 5/1 favourites Leicester City in the bookmakers’ eyes. United remain at 2/1 to win promotion, which is short of the 6/4 Foxes once more.
