Our prediction for the match Sheffield United vs Leeds United
The club from Sheffield played in the Premier League again last season. Still, neither under the leadership of Heckingbottom, nor with Wilder, who had returned to the position, the club was able to create any chances to “survive” by returning there early. The popular team from Leeds, having been relegated in 2023 after a couple of years in the Premier League, clearly wanted to return from the very strong attempt. Speaking about the regular draw, not only Leicester was better, but also, unexpectedly, the newcomer – Ipswich. And the team lost to Southampton in the play-off final.
Daniel Farke was given another chance. And this time the interim results are quite good. There are a minimum of defeats, and his footballers had reached the mark of 12 victories by mid-February. At the same time, the team was knocked out of the cup competition by Millwall. It also beat Sunderland, albeit only with a 2-1 score. Wilder and his wards are almost on par with their competitors, having regained their shape after the decline of late December and early January. They also beat Luton in the previous round – 1-0.
The hosts score exactly twice as many goals as they concede – 1.42/0.7. The guests have got a truly luxurious ratio: 2.06 goals are scored, fewer goals are conceded – 0.61.
