Leeds United vs West Bromwich Albion
Friday 1st March 2019
The Championship, Elland Road

Live on Sky Sports Football/Sky Sports Main Event– Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT

Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion –  a crucial match which could have a huge effect on who gets promoted in the SkyBet Championship.

Both clubs were disappointed in their previous outings. Leeds were halted by a 1-0 loss to QPR that saw them bitterly frustrated having had 64% possession. West Brom were also frustrated against Sheffield United as they lost 1-0 despite having 18 attempts on goal. Just one place separates the two sides with Leeds in third and their opponents four points behind in fourth.

Leeds have been pipped as slight favourites for this encounter and are priced at 23/20 to win by SkyBet. Leeds are painfully close to the top of the table, with their loss to QPR denying them top spot. However, they now return back home where they have the best record in the league. They have won 11 and lost just three on home soil and Ezgjan Alioski has been a key figure in Leeds success this season. His tricky feet and eye for goal has got them through some tough matches and he is priced at 3/1 to score anytime – having already scored 6 goals this term.

However, Leeds do enjoy some drama as they have conceded in their last seven consecutive matches. They are price boosted to 7/2 to win and for both teams to score.

West Brom are priced at 23/10 to win the match. The Baggies will enter this match frustrated that their efforts didn’t result in anything against promotion hopefuls, Sheffield United. It was the first time they failed to score in front of a home crowd all season. One man looking to get them back into winning ways will be Jay Rodriguez and the English striker has 17 goals to his name and is 15/8 to score anytime.

The referee for this match will be Tim Robinson. The official has not been shy with his cards this season and has averaged 46.2 booking points from his 26 Championship matches.

Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Leeds United 1-1 West Bromwich Albion 

It’s such a tough match to call but it does seem likely there will be goals.

QPR vs Leeds United – Match Preview

QPR vs Leeds United
Tuesday 26th February 2019
The Championship, Loftus Road

Sky Sports Football – Kick-Off: 19:45pm

QPR will host promotion hopefuls Leeds United in the SkyBet Championship this Tuesday evening.

The hosts enter this match in torrid form. They have five straight losses in all competitions and just one win from their last ten. Meanwhile, Leeds have found that winning feeling again, with two back to back 2-1 wins over Bolton and Swansea.

The bookmakers are weary of QPRs recent form and SkyBet have priced them at 29/10 to win. QPR have fallen down the table in poor style and find themselves 18thin the standings. They failed to score in their last outing that saw them lose 2-0 away to Middlesbrough. Hoping to turn their fortunes will be striker Nahki Wells. The striker has six goals for the season and is 11/5 to score anytime.

QPR sure have been entertaining this season. Five of their 16 home Championship matches have seen over 4.5 goals. They are 6/1 to win and for both teams to score.

Leeds are favourites for this encounter and are priced at a tempting 10/11. As mentioned, Leeds enter this match in good form. However, the last time these two met last month in the FA Cup, they lost to that same 2-1 score line they seem to win by so much. Their away form does also not represent the dominance they would wish for. They have won two, drawn one and lost a further two in their last five matches on the road and conceded ten goals.

Trying to score the goals on the other side of the pitch has not proved difficult for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. With Kemar Roofe’s involvement questionable, Leeds will hope to call on Mateusz Klich who has scored seven times from midfield this season. He is price boosted to 14/1 to score first.

The referee for this match will be Andy Davies. The official has not been too lenient when officiating in this league this season. He has averaged 40.8 booking points per match this campaign.

QPR vs Leeds United will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: QPR 0 – Leeds United 2

– The visitors will not want to drop any points against a struggling side in. the business end of the season.

Nottingham Forest are priced at 6/4 to win by SkyBet. Since Martin O’Neill’s arrival at the club, they have struggled for inconsistency.

Frank Lampard has made a great impression since his arrival at Pride Park and will understand the importance of this match to their fans. The Rams are in desperate need of a win having failed to win their last three outings. Likely to provide a moment of magic is Harry Wilson. The loanee attacker has stolen headlines with some incredible goals this season from range. He is priced at 14/5 to score anytime.

Derby have failed to keep a clean sheet in three matches. They are price boosted to 11/2 to win and for both teams to score.

The referee for this match will be Robert Jones. The official has been rather handy with his cards this season and has averaged 36.1 booking points in his 14 Championship matches.
