Championship, played Sunday, January 21st, 2024
Here is our Leeds v Preston tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Leeds home win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Sunday high noon brings us action from the Championship as fourth placed Leeds United take on mid-table Preston NE at Elland Road with Leeds United going in search of a third consecutive win in the English second tier, while Preston NE will be seeking to collect back-to-back wins following last weekend's solid 2-0 home win against Bristol City.
Leeds United maintained their ambitions of a spot in the play-offs as they registered recent wins against Birmingham City 3-0 and and other 3-0 victory away from home at Cardiff City which were welcome wins indeed for the Yorkshire club as they had previously stumbled to two worrying defeats on the trot in the Championship.
Previous losses to Preston NE and West Brom, both of which were away from home, had threatened to undo Leeds United's previous hard work but the hosts are seemingly back on track and will be eyeing off another three points here on Sunday lunchtime.
Indeed, Leeds United have continued to impress on home soil at Elland Road in this season's Championship campaign as Daniel Farke's side still remain unbeaten and having picked up nine wins within their 13 home games to date, Leeds look to be in the driving seat ahead of this Sunday lunchtime showdown against Preston NE.
Preston NE put an end to a stretch of disappointing results in last weekend's Championship action as the Lancashire outfit recorded a welcome 2-0 home win against Bristol City as the visitors had previously slipped to back-to-back defeats to Sheffield Wednesday and Sunderland.
Preston now occupy a mid-table position of 12th place in the Championship table but recent results have seen Preston NE experience something of a worrying wobble as the visitors have managed to capture only three wins from their previous 11 games overall in the English second tier while also being handed seven defeats in the process, so the prospects of a positive result here at Elland Road on Sunday seem remote.
Within these seven losses in recent weeks, three of these have been inflicted upon Preston NE on their travels with defeats incurred at Middlesbrough, Swansea City and Sunderland, two of which saw Preston NE fail to hit the back of the net.
Results on the road have been even more disappointing for Preston NE as the visitors have collected just two victories from their previous 10 outings on their travels which were achieved at Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town but has also seen Preston fail to score in five of these 10 away games too.
Leeds United v Preston NE Verdict
Leeds United have produced impressive and consistent results at Elland Road so far this season and the hosts look set for further success here this Sunday.
Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.66
Other side bets worth considering:
Leeds Utd win & BTTS No @ 2.00
Correct Score: Leeds Utd 2-0 @ 6.50
