1st Prediction For Leeds United vs Derby County: Leeds United to win 31/100

Leeds United currently sit in third place in the Championship and are having an excellent season despite losing key players like Crysencio Summerville in the summer. Their limiting factor in recent weeks has been their away form as they have suffered one-nil defeats at the hands of Blackburn and Millwall. But, a return to Elland Road should see the Yorkshiremen return to winning ways. They have the third best home record in the Championship, having picked up 22 points in just nine games. Additionally, Derby come into the game having not won in over a month despite playing a number of teams in a similar position to them in the table. This makes predicting Daniel Farke’s side to win a very safe bet.

2nd Prediction For Leeds United vs Derby County: Leeds United to score over 2.5 goals 79/50

Leeds have been in good form in front of goal all season, and they could be set to put a number of goals past Jacob Zetterstrom in the Derby goal on Saturday. The Whites are the third top scorers in the Championship having found the back of the net 31 times in 18 games. What makes them a particularly outstanding attacking threat is the way in which they share goals amongst their attackers meaning that there is constantly a threat on the pitch. Their top scorer, Joel Piroe, has seven goals this season, but the likes of Dan James, Largie Ramazani and Brenden Aaronson have all found the back of the net at least three times this season. Paul Warne’s side will also be losing some defensive familiarity and depth heading into the game as first-choice central-midfielder Ebou Adams and left-back Callum Elder are suspended.

3rd Prediction For Leeds United vs Derby County: Wilfried Gnonto to score any time 53/10

Those looking for a riskier prediction heading into the game should consider looking at Wilfried Gnonto to score. The young winger, who has 13 Italy caps and one goal, has only hit double figures for goals once in his relatively young career, but his performances this season have been consistently excellent. Gnonto has racked up three goals and five assists in the league this season but those three goals have come from 4.22 xG, suggesting that he should have scored at least one more goal than he has. Leeds have also created the most big chances in the division this season with 53, almost three per game on average, and the creative form of left-back Junior Firpo, when he has not been suspended, could lead to a number of good opportunities falling to Leeds’ right-winger on Saturday.

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

Leeds come into the game sitting in third place in the league whilst newly promoted Derby have done reasonably well to find themselves in fifteenth even after a far from ideal last month. Paul Warne will know that it is a tough ask to go to Elland Road and come away with anything, but a point would be a very respectable result for the Rams which they could build on as they play bottom of the table Portsmouth and 19th-placed Luton soon after. Daniel Farke will expect no less than three points in front of the Leeds United faithful and his main goal will to be to adapt Leeds’ style of play so that they can consistently get results away from home and push into an automatic promotion place.
