-35
Luck Index Score

Leeds are the definition of "we deserved more." With 33 points from 43.37 expected, they've been robbed of 10.37 points this season. 12 draws tell the story - they're dominating matches and walking away with crumbs. The worst part? They've scored 6 fewer goals than their xG suggests. The finishing is cursed. Genuinely, cosmically cursed.
