Leeds United were challenging for automatic promotion earlier in the season but it's gone all wrong over the past few months. They have slid right down the table and start this weekend in 11th place, eight points adrift of their opponents Bristol City who occupy the last play-off place. After a 4-1 home defeat by Cardiff City, Leeds swung the axe yet again and this game sees Paul Heckingbottom having his first home game in charge. He's already had one game since taking over and that ended in a 2-1 loss at Sheffield United to further damage their hopes of making the play-offs. They have three key players suspended and have gone eight league and cup games without a win since beating Burton Albion on Boxing Day. Bristol City have also been slipping down the table after getting carried away with their run to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. They have only won one of their last ten league and cup games and last week gave away a 3-0 home lead to Sunderland drawing 3-3 in the end. Away form has seen them go four league games without a win and haven't scored in the last three. That's compared to a home league record for Leeds that has seen them earn just one point from their last three.  It's not easy to bet on a match between two teams that are out of form but going for over 2.5 goals in what could be a chaotic match is the suggestion.
