Leeds United v Middlesbrough Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Tuesday 10th December 2024
Having beaten Derby County to the tune of 2-0 last time out, Leeds United sit in second position in the Championship table and they will be confident of moving into pole position with a win over Middlesbrough at Elland Road this evening.
Closing in
Leeds United are closing in on pole position in the Championship table, just a single point and one position separating the Peacocks from table-topping rivals Sheffield United. Against Derby County at the weekend, Leeds were dominant throughout from the outset and boss Daniel Farke was more than happy with his side’s performance. The West Yorkshire outfit have found the back of the net 33 times since the start of the Championship campaign and leaked 13 goals along the way, making them joint second-best offensive (after Norwich City and level with tonight’s opponents Middlesbrough) and third best defensive (behind Burnley and Sheffield United) second tier outfit.
Upturn in fortunes
Middlesbrough were dominant for lengthy periods against Burnley in their last outing and given that they arguably outplayed their opponents, they will have been disappointed not to have claimed a maximum points haul in a match which ended all-square. The Teesside outfit have enjoyed a noticeable upturn in fortunes of late, their opening ten league matches returning four wins, two draws and four defeats, but their last nine returning five wins, two draws and just two defeats. Michael Carrick’s men have triumphed in all-but-two of their last six league outings with nineteen goals scored along the way, however they haven’t managed a clean sheet in any of their last eight.
Undergods
Middlesbrough are the underdogs coming into this clash and this should hardly be a surprise given the home side’s excellent form at Elland Road and strong defensive performances in recent outings. Boro have been struggling to keep the opposition at bay and while they have been excellent up front and should add to the scoreline here, we’ll be siding firmly with Leeds United to prevail in what should be a thriller at Elland Road.
Back Leeds United to win and both teams to score at best odds of 5/2
