7th meets 8th on Saturday as Leeds Untied welcome Norwich City to Elland Road. There have been changes off the field recently for Leeds United, but on the field their form has been sub-standard; they have won just once in their last 6 Championship fixtures. That poor run means that finishing in a Play-Off spot looks unlikely and they need Fulham to drop points in both of their remaining games to have a chance of winning.
Norwich City have won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 Championship fixtures, their performances swinging from sublime to downright abysmal. They have scored 13 goals in those 6 games and conceded 10. The Canaries have won just 5 of their 22 games on the road this season. They have kept just 2 clean sheets in 15 games.
When the teams last met in November, a last gasp Ronaldo Vieira strike handed Leeds United a 3-2 win at Carrow Road after Kyle Lafferty thought he bagged the home side a point with his 88 minute leveller. Read our predictions and Leeds United vs Norwich City betting tips below.
There has only been over 2.5 goals in 1 of Leeds United’s last 8 games – in fact, they have only scored 29 goals at home all season, that’s fewer than every other team in the Championship’s top 16. However, Norwich City have only won twice away from home since October. 3 points are vital for Leeds if they are to have any hope of clawing their way into a Play-Off spot and that should provide an extra motivation they need to nick a narrow win on Saturday.
NetBet have odds of 9/2 for Leeds United to win with under 2.5 goals scored, which is an offer worth your thought. You can get 3/1 with the same bookies for Leeds United to win to nil, which is a little riskier should you fancy a greater gamble.
