Leeds v Bristol City Tips

Leeds host AC Milan on Saturday afternoon at Elland Road hoping to increase the pressure on West Brom at the top of the Championship table. Read the Leeds v Bristol City match preview and predictions below.

Leeds head into this match sitting 2nd in the league. However, Marcelo Bielsa will be frustrated his side aren’t top after a very positive start to the season. Since the 12th December, Leeds have only managed 2 wins from 11 games in all competitions and if they carry on this way, they could see themselves not just drop out of their automatic promotion spot which they currently occupy, but the playoff places also given how tight it is at the top of the Championship table at the moment.

A win is a must for Leeds on Saturday in an attempt to get back to winning ways and widen the gap between themselves and 3rd place Fulham.

Bristol City are currently only missing out on a playoff spot due to goal difference. However, Lee Johnson’s side are just 9 points adrift of West Brom at the top of the table and so automatic promotion isn’t out of the question for the Robins. However, Saturday’s match away to Leeds will be a test but they will have confidence in the fact that they are not playing Leeds at their best and will see this match as winnable.

Bristol City currently have the 2nd best away record in the Championship and only beaten by West Brom. They have picked up 28 points from 16 matches which almost equals Leeds’ 28 points from 15 home games, leading us to believe this will be a close game.

Leeds v Bristol City Prediction

This is an extremely tough match to call. Both sides need points in their promotion battle and neither will want to settle for a single point. Bookies have Leeds as very strong favourites but we believe the match will be closer than the odds suggest although, we do believe Leeds will come out on top after 90 minutes. We’re backing a narrow victory for the home side with both sides getting on the scoresheet. 2-1 Leeds.
