Leeds v Norwich

Leeds vs Norwich Preview

There is just the one fixture in the Championship on Wednesday night but nevertheless it is an important one as fourth placed Leeds United take on eighth placed Norwich City at Elland Road with the hosts looking to chalk up a fourth consecutive win in the English second tier, while Norwich City will be chasing a third league win on the bounce after recording a 2-0 home win against West Brom on the weekend.

Leeds United have produced three wins on the trot in the Championship following recent back-to-back defeats to Preston NE and West Brom, both of which were inflicted upon Daniel Farke's side away from home but subsequent victories against Birmingham City, Cardiff City and Preston NE (at home), have maintained Leeds United's ambitions of claiming one of the automatic promotion spots.

Indeed, another three points for the Yorkshire hosts on Wednesday night would see them move to within a point of both Southampton and Ipswich Town, and along with being the only club in the Championship yet to taste defeat on home soil as well as picking up 10 wins from their 14 home games to date, Leeds look to be in a commanding position ahead of Wednesday night's tussle.

Norwich City also collected all three points on the weekend when The Canaries registered a solid 2-0 home win against West Brom at Carrow Road on Saturday which followed a previous impressive 2-1 win away from home at Hull City to move the visitors within just two points of the play-off pack.

Norwich had also slipped to two defeats on the trot in previous times as well, losing 1-0 away from home at both West Brom and Millwall respectively but although The Canaries have picked up 12 league wins to date in this season's Championship campaign, eight of these wins have been recorded on home soil at Carrow Road.

The bigger picture shows Norwich City have lost just twice in their last 10 matches overall in the English second tier but results away from home continue to be patchy for David Wagner's side as they have collected just three wins out of their previous 12 outings on the road which were wins achieved at Cardiff City, Bristol City and Hull City, but they have also slipped to seven defeats within this period as well.

Leeds United v Norwich City Verdict

Both Leeds United and Norwich City will be highly motivated to take the three points on offer on Wednesday night but the goals market appeals here as eight of Leeds' last 10 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals, while seven of Norwich City's last 10 away games have also produced three goals or more.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.57
