Leeds v Huddersfield Preview, Tips & Prediction

Leeds host Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon at Elland Road with the hosts looking for their fifth consecutive victory to keep the pressure on league leaders West Brom. Read the Leeds v Huddersfield match preview and predictions below.

After a poor start to 2020 which saw Leeds pick up just one win in their first eight games of the year, Marcelo Bielsa’s side are now unbeaten in their last five and have won their last four. Their most recent outing resulted in a 4-0 victory away from home against struggling Hull which brought them to within just 1 point from 1st place in the league after West Brom suffered a surprising defeat to the hands of Wigan.

Huddersfield sit 17th in the Championship and just 4 points above the drop zone. There does seem more likely sides to be regelated but Danny Cowley will want his side to pick up points to make sure they’re not caught up in a last minute battle at the bottom. They come into this match on the back of two victories against Bristol City and Charlton after picking up just two wins in their last ten. It seems as though the Terriers have found a bit of form but Saturday’s match will prove to be a tougher test.

Leeds v Huddersfield Prediction

Huddersfield’s recent victories will give them some confidence going into this game but it’s likely that Leeds will be too strong for them. The hosts have now won four on the trot and haven’t conceded a goal throughout those games. After Huddersfield’s six goals in two matches, we can see them getting on the scoresheet but a home victory is expect as reflected in the odds.
