Leeds vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction

Leeds Form

Consistency has not been a trademark for Leeds recently, and their last three matches first saw them sharing the points in a 2-2 draw with Cardiff. This was followed by a 2-1 win against Shrewsbury, before they lost 1-0 against Birmingham. In their last six Championship home matches, Leeds have four wins, while they've drawn two and lost none. They scored 16 and conceded three goals.

Leeds are understandable the favourites to win the Championship this season and nothing but the title will be considered a failure for the ambitious club. Their start to the campaign, however, has been anything but encouarging.

West Bromwich Albion Form

West Bromwich Albion suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches as they were run over by Blackburn in a 2-1 defeat. Stoke also proved too hard to handle as they won 2-1, before West Bromwich Albion were able to strike back in a 3-2 win against Swansea. West Bromwich Albion claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads 11 goals conceded and eight scored.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top three finish does not look beyond West Bromwich Albion, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Leeds welcome West Bromwich Albion this coming Friday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
