West Brom vs Leeds Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 06/11/2018, 11:05  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 06/11/2018 at 12:06 in Championship Predictions

The top two scorers in the division meet as West Brom host Leeds United. The home side are seventh in the Championship but only a point away from the play-off places and five adrift of their opponents who top the table going into the weekend fixtures. A vital game for Albion then but they enter this game in poor form having lost three of their last four league games and drawing the other. Only one of their last four home league games have been won and they recently lost 4-1 at home to Derby County. A form guide for the last six league games has West Brom in 20th place and they badly need to get something out of this game.

Leeds United are top at the time of writing this article but will lose that position if Sheffield United beat Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening. They are currently only ahead of second-placed Norwich City on goal difference and are unbeaten in their last three league games with two wins and a draw. Only one of their eight away league games this season has ended in defeat (a 2-1 loss at Blackburn) but only twice have they kept a clean sheet on their travels but they are yet to go away this season in the Championship and fail to hit the back of the net.. This isn't easy to predict and the tip is for over 2.5 goals to be scored in the game.
