da casino： On face value, Leeds’ loss to Wigan on Saturday was one of their most embarrassing results of the season.
da 888casino： The Whites were beaten 1-0 at home by a side who have only won two away games in 2019/20.
Indeed, Wigan are true relegation candidates, as they sit 22nd in the league, but they managed to take all three points from Elland Road.

It could be a devastating blow to Leeds’ confidence to get beaten by such a lowly side, but perhaps they should take solace in the fact that the league table may not represent the Latics’ actual quality.
The xG table indicates that Paul Cook’s side should actually be seventh in the table, but poor finishing and bad luck as seemingly cost them.
Losing 1-0 to a side that should be seventh isn’t ideal, but it’s not as demoralising as getting beaten by the 22nd best team in the division.
Mentality is going to be huge in the coming weeks, and if Leeds have a look at the xG table they will see that they were actually beat by quite a decent outfit, rather than a side that could find themselves in League One in a few months’ time.
The squad should take some small solace in that fact, and use it as a little boost to take away from what otherwise looks like a soul-destroying result.
United were beaten on Saturday, but they didn’t lose to one of the worst teams in the league, they lost to one that finally got the slice of fortune they deserved after a season of being consistently unlucky.
The Whites can get up, dust themselves down and move on from this result knowing that there will be easier games in the future.
In other news, Leeds’ fate could be all but decided in the next few weeks.
