Preston – Leeds United, Championship Prediction

Preston got two disappointing losses in the last rounds, which left them a little over the top 6, before they were in great shape and won a match after match. Of course, in the last round was not a big surprise loss from Sheffield United, but the big disappointment came against Reading before. Preston relies heavily on the home games, where they have only four losses since the start of the league season.

Leeds also did not glorify a few days ago after losing one of the worst teams ever – Birmingham. The victory from the Blues against United broke a series of 5 consecutive losses in the league, and for Leeds the fight to enter the top 2 is getting worse, because there are only a few rounds left and they are lagging behind instead of making their fate dependent on them.

For Leeds, the top scorer, Roofe, must start right from the begining. We are expecting a goal match because Leeds has shown too many defensive weakness, and the pressure is already serious in Bielsa’s team. Still in attack are stronger with their goal scorer, and Leeds have scored no goal only 5 times in the season. Both teams will be thrown for victory, so X does not suit anyone here. Prediction – BTTS at 1.75.

• Preston has not scored a goal in just three home league games
• In the last 6 home games against Leeds Preston always scored and conceded at least one goal
