- Analysis
- Leeds United are currently in a battle for top spot in the English Championship (2nd Division.) Although the stakes might not seem all that high for Middlesbrough, they should be still highly competitive. Middlesbrough are actually in tremendously good form right now as they haven't lost since the 2nd day of March (9 games unbeaten.) They've been able to score goals and battle against the best teams in the league. Talking about scoring goals, Leeds score a lot of them as well. Yes, they've been struggling. But, this is a massive game for them. With just two teams being able to secure an "automatic bid" into the Premier League next season, Leeds will do whatever they can to get back into that spot. Currently sitting in third, they might end up having to play in a "playoff" round against the 4, 5 & 6th ranked teams for just one more spot. Just four points separate them and the lead. Therefore, a win here is a must. Given the circumstances, I believe that the "over" is the best bet here. The meeting earlier this season (December) was a 3-2 win for Leeds. Look for another high scoring game.
Score Prediction: 3-1 Leeds
