🔥 Our Hot tip

Leeds to win-to-nil

Leeds have won 14 of their 17 home games in the Championship and boast a clean sheets record of 65% at Elland Road.

The Championship leaders Leeds have the home advantage in one of Saturday's early kick-off against promotion-chasing West Brom, and we're bringing you our tips and predictions for the game.

Leeds vs West Brom prediction: Home win and a clean sheet?

  • Leeds average 2.59 points per home game and have only lost once at Elland Road this season.
  • West Brom are only averaging 1.18 points per away game and have lost five times on their travels.
  • Joel Piroe top scores for Leeds with 15 Championship goals and heads into Saturday's match on the back of five goals from his last five league games.

Correct score prediction: Leeds 2-0 West Brom

Leeds are in very good form right now, picking up five wins from their last six matches across all competitions, and have kept clean sheets in three of their last five league games. The Baggies have struggled for goals on the road, averaging 0.65 per away game in the Championship, and go up against a Leeds defence that has only conceded eight goals at home this season.

  • HOME: 5/14 (1.36) – 73.7%
  • DRAW: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%
  • AWAY: 17/2 (9.50) – 10.5%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Leeds preview: Huge win in midweek

Leeds were away at fellow promotion hopefuls Sheffield United in midweek where despite going a goal behind in the 14th minute, the visitors recovered to secure all three points.

The visitors didn't get back onto level terms until the 72nd minute via defender Junior Firpo but late goals from Ao Tanaka and top scorer Joel Piroe earned Leeds their victory.

Striker Patrick Bamford could miss out this weekend but is expected back from a hamstring injury any time.

Predicted lineup: Meslier (GK), Firpo, Rodon, Struijk, Bogle, James, Gruev, Tanaka, Aaronson, Solomon & Piroe
