Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
Bristol City consistently manage to draw their matches—already securing six so far. For Leeds United, every point is important as they aim for Premier League promotion. Can the team secure their third consecutive victory, this time on the road?
Bristol City
Bristol City’s two-match tour ended undefeated: a clean sheet win over Middlesbrough followed by a draw with Stoke City. Notably, they scored twice in both fixtures, offering encouragement to the coaching staff. Bristol City have struggled with finishing in recent games, failing to score more than once in six of their last seven outings. Against a team like Leeds United, they must capitalise on opportunities, or risk leaving the field defeated.
Leeds United
Leeds United recently overcame Watford, who managed just one goal in a 2:1 defeat to the team. They bombarded the visitors with 24 shots, seven of which were on target. Daniel Bachmann conceded twice within the first seven minutes. Despite being strong contenders for the Championship title, they maintained a balanced xG of 1.88. Prior to this, they efficiently scored twice against Sheffield United with an xG of 1.19.
Bristol City vs Leeds United Prediction
The hosts should brace themselves for a relentless assault on goal. Leeds United will create enough chances for a couple of goals. Whether Bristol City can score past Illan Meslier is less certain. Therefore, we lean towards Leeds United and goals in this encounter.
