Our 3 Predictions For Leeds United v Sheffield United

  • 1st Prediction: Draw
  • 2nd Prediction: Both Teams To Score
  • 3rd Prediction: Joel Piroe First Goal

1st Prediction For Leeds United v Sheffield United: Draw

These are two teams vying for a spot in the top two, both in good form and both likely to want to not lose the game, first and foremost. Leeds are the home side and will, therefore, pose a threat to the Blades, but on their travels, Sheffield United have been strong. In their most recent outing, Leeds were held to a draw by Sunderland, and Norwich held them to a blank before that. It feels like the sort of game either side will want to lose, and throwing in the added spice of a Yorkshire derby only serves to make it more tense. It surely has a draw written all over it.

2nd Prediction For Leeds United v Sheffield United: Both Team To Score

Both teams know where the back of the net is, and it is rare for either to draw a blank. The last game Leeds failed to score in was a month ago, September 14th, while the Blades have only failed to score in one game since the August Bank Holiday. Both have dangerous attacking players, but the odds could be attractive enough for both teams to score. Sheffield United haven’t conceded in five fixtures, but Leeds are averaging two goals a game, which will be a real test for Chris Wilder’s side.

3rd Prediction For Leeds United v Sheffield United: Joel Piroe to Score First

The Dutchman has 18 goals in 59 outings for Leeds, but he’s been on fire lately. He’s scored in four of his last six matches but has never been the first goalscorer of the game. Once the game gets underway, he’ll be a threat, and with confidence from his recent form, he’s sure to score. However, he did score first for Leeds as they drew with Sunderland, and he’s looking good value to be the first goalscorer at Elland Road this week.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head

This will be a really tasty encounter, and remarkably, it’ll be the first meeting between the two in the Championship since 2019. Both sides have moved up and down in the past few seasons, and they both expect to be there or thereabouts once the dust settles this season as well. At this stage of the campaign, few matches are seen as six-pointers because there’s so much to play for, but if this were in March or April, it could easily be a promotion decider. Neither side will want to lose ground, and Sheffield United come into the encounter in slightly better form. However, home advantage could be big, although Leeds have disappointed a couple of times at home this season against Middlesbrough and Burnley. Either way, it promises to be a really heated affair. Don’t be surprised if the referee starts doling out cards like it is Christmas.
