West Bromwich vs Leeds Prediction

West Bromwich Form

Showing inconsistent form, West Bromwich lost two of their past three matches, going down 3-1 against Southampton, before beating Queens Park Rangers 1-3. The joy was short-lived, as Fleetwood proved too strong in a 2-1 defeat. West Bromwich won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored nine and conceded three goals.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Leeds, as they look to build a title challenge.

Leeds Form

In their past three games, Leeds lost 0-1 against Southampton, drew 3-3 with Portsmouth, and lost 0-3 against Middlesbrough. Leeds claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads 11 goals conceded and nine scored.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Leeds, as they look to build a title challenge.

Leeds and West Bromwich seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues this coming Saturday, as we aim for both teams to score.
