Leeds and Brentford played out a drab 0-0 draw at Elland Road, with both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances.

Leeds dominated possession (57%) and managed 14 total shots, but only four were on target. Their expected goals of 0.52 highlights their lack of cutting edge, despite registering seven blocked shots. The hosts were ponderous in possession, with a pass accuracy of just 80%, and their inability to break down Brentford's well-organised defence proved their undoing.

Brentford, on the other hand, were compact and disciplined without the ball. They limited Leeds to just six shots inside the box, while their own expected goals of 0.46 suggests they carried a similar attacking threat. Goalkeeper David Raya made four saves to earn his side a point, with Brentford's 65% pass accuracy reflecting their more pragmatic approach.

Tactically, Brentford's deep block and counter-attacking setup stifled Leeds' attempts to play through the lines. Thomas Frank's side soaked up pressure and then looked to hit on the break, with their two shots on target demonstrating a clinical edge that Leeds lacked.
