Leeds - Norwich Prediction and Best Odds:

Leeds are aiming to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking and were in contention for automatic promotion until the latter stages of the season. However, after managing just one victory in their last seven games of the campaign, they ended in third place with 90 points, six points behind Ipswich and seven behind Leicester City. In the first leg, Leeds maintained an excellent 61% possession across the 90 but struggled to convert those into goal-scoring opportunities, managing only six shots at goal and just one on target. They did manage to put the ball in the net in the first half, but celebrations were cut short after Junior Firpo was adjudged to have been offside. At home, the Whites had the league’s second-best record of 53 points from 23 games (W16 D5 L2) in the regular season. They also beat this opponent home and away, making them the bookmakers’ favourite in this contest. 

Meanwhile, Norwich City are hoping to return to the Premier League after a two-season hiatus. However, they stumbled over the line in the Championship season as they failed to win any of their last three matches. This included a 1-0 loss on the final day to Birmingham City, who were relegated the same day. Including the first-leg stalemate, the Canaries have now won only one of their last six matches, which was an unconvincing 1-0 victory against Preston North End in mid-April. On the road this season, the visitors recorded six wins, six draws and 11 losses, which was the worst return of any team that ended the campaign in the top half of the table. Notably, Norwich scored 36 away goals this season, which was the second-most in the league, but allowed 42, also the second-most in the league. The Canaries have failed to beat this opponent in their last five attempts dating back to February 2019.
