Leeds v Stoke

Leeds vs Stoke Preview

Although Leeds United failed to win Saturday's Yorkshire local derby against Huddersfield Town as they were held to a 1-1 draw, this result nevertheless extended the upcoming hosts' unbeaten run in the Championship to an excellent 10 games which includes picking up no fewer than nine wins in the process, while Stoke City registered an important 2-0 home win against Middlesbrough on Saturday but this win wasn't enough to see The Potters drop down into the bottom three of the division.

The draw at Huddersfield Town though was perhaps two points dropped for Daniel Farke's side as they have dropped down to third spot and two points behind Ipswich Town prior to this week's midweek fixtures but the Yorkshire club will be keen to make the most of a noisy Elland Road on Tuesday night when Stoke City visit.

Along with winning nine of their last 10 games in the Championship, Leeds United have also won each of their last six home games on the trot as well with four of these six victories also producing clean sheets for the home side while the bigger picture underlines Leeds United's dominance at Elland Road this season as the hosts still remain unbeaten this term.

Stoke City captured only a second win in eight games on the weekend when The Potters recorded a 2-0 home win against Middlesbrough but despite this rare success, Stoke have dropped down into the relegation zone in the Championship table courtesy of possessing an inferior goal difference.

Stoke had previously registered a 1-0 home win against QPR at home but both of these home wins have been overshadowed by slipping to six defeats within this period which has plunged Steven Schumacher's side into a desperate relegation battle.

Results away from home have been inconsistent for the visitors as Stoke City have managed to gain just two wins from their last 10 outings on the road with wins at fellow strugglers, Birmingham City and Rotherham United, while also being dealt five defeats within this period which includes losing their last three away games on the trot as well.

Recent losses on the road at Sunderland, Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City respectively suggest The Potters look likely to struggle to keep up with Leeds United at Elland Road especially as the visitors have managed to capture just four wins from their previous 20 away games in the Championship overall.

Leeds United v Stoke City Verdict

Leeds United have won both of their previous two meetings at home against Stoke City by the way of 5-0 and 3-1 victories and Daniel Farke's side look to be building momentum at just about the right time in this English second tier season and the hosts will be eager to collect another three points.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.80
