Leeds v Norwich

Leeds United vs Norwich City Preview

Wednesday night also brings us action from the Championship as the league leaders, Leeds United, play host to Norwich City at Elland Road with Leeds United looking to hold onto top place in the table, while Norwich City will be keen to grab the three points in order to close the gap on the play-off pack.

Leeds United will be brimming with confidence after posting a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Sheffield Wednesday in the recent Yorkshire derby which also helped extend Daniel Farke side's unbeaten run in the Championship to nine matches overall, while Norwich City's four-game unbeaten sequence was brought to a halt following a 2-0 loss on the road at Sheffield United.

Six wins within their last nine matches have helped the Yorkshire hosts to the top of the Championship table and four of these six victories have been achieved on home soil at Elland Road, thus giving the hosts a welcome boost.

Recent victories in their own backyard against the likes of Derby County, Middlesbrough, Oxford United and the aforementioned Sheffield Wednesday have shown Leeds United mean business this season as well as possessing a solid and sturdy defence.

Leeds United have kept a total of nine clean sheets within their 14 home games to date this term which has contributed to the hosts conceding just seven goals at home so far.

Norwich City currently occupy a mid-table position of 11th place in the Championship table and The Canaries will need to start all over again in terms of putting together an unbeaten sequence in the English second tier having been dealt a 2–0 defeat at Sheffield United on the weekend.

The East Anglian visitors had previously picked up recent wins against Millwall, Luton Town and Coventry City respectively along with a point gained in a draw with QPR, but the visitors face a tough evening at the office at Elland Road on Wednesday night against the league leaders.

Indeed, Norwich City have managed to capture just five wins from their last 18 matches overall in the Championship whilst also being handed seven defeats and being involved in six stalemates as well.

Results away from home have also been rather poor from Norwich City's perspective as The Canaries have posted just the one win from their last 10 outings on the road along with being dealt five losses in the process - in addition, Norwich City have also failed to score in four of their last seven away games in the English second tier.

Leeds United v Norwich City Verdict

Three of the last four meetings have resulted in only one team scoring while Leeds United have won their last two encounters at home against Norwich, both of which also saw the hosts keep clean sheets.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.80
