First Prediction for Leeds United vs Bristol City – Match to end in a draw – 14/5

Both Leeds and Burnley secured promotion back up to the Premier League on easter Monday, after Burnley’s win over third-placed Sheffield United. With this fact in mind, Bristol City will be hoping that they can take advantage of the fact that now Leeds, besides the title, don’t have anything to play for in these final two Championship matchdays. Liam Manning’s side look set to finish in the play-offs, with a four-point gap between themselves and seventh-placed Middlesbrough; however, they need to pick up more points to make sure that is a mathematical fact. Both sides are in good form at the moment too, with Leeds drawing once and winning four, whilst fifth-placed City have won three, drawn once and lost once. Whilst beating Leeds at Elland Road has only been done once this season, the Yorkshire-based outfit have dropped points on four more occasions, and with City drawing 10 of their 22 away matches, they’ll certainly be hoping for a point from what is a very difficult ground to go to. Although all the stats point towards a Leeds win, the premise of already securing promotion, alongside the fact Bristol City need more points, might mean this game ends level at full time.

Second Prediction for Leeds United vs Bristol City – Both teams to score – 18/25

With Daniel Farke’s side shipping six goals past Stoke City on Easter Monday, alongside the fact that Bristol City have been finding some decent form in front of goal consistently, may mean that this match may be high-scoring. The hosts are by far and away the Championship top-scorers this season, scoring 89 goals in 44 games, and averaging scoring over two goals per match. The Robins haven’t been as good in front of goal as United have, scoring 57 goals in the same number of games, however, they have found the back of the net consecutively in the last five games, and have only failed to score in three games this calendar year. On average, they score 1.30 goals per match, which feels like a massive improvement from the numbers they were producing at the beginning of the season. However, Manning’s side will also have to overcome the second-best defensive record in the league, but with what’s on the line to play for at this stage of the season, it may be highly likely that both sides will find the back of the net in this clash on Monday evening.

Third Prediction for Leeds United vs Bristol City – Joel Piroe to score at any time – 27/20

There’s no doubt that Joel Piroe is one of the best Championship strikers this season. The Dutchman has netted 19 goals in the Championship for Leeds, and is the Championship top-scorer by a margin of two goals after his four goals against Stoke on easter Monday. Before the match against the Potters, Piroe was on a goal drought and hadn’t scored in nine games. With promotion secured, Leeds and Piroe will be hoping to further add to their tally of 89 goals as a team and 19 goals for their flying Dutchman.

Full Preview of the Game – Last Results and Head-To-Head

As mentioned above, Daniel Farke’s side come into this game unbeaten in five after a dip in form, whilst the away side have won three, drawn one, but lost one, against relegation-threatened Luton Town on Easter Monday.

Now that Leeds have secured promotion back up to the Premier League, three points would mean the world to Bristol City, who are sitting fifth with two games left to play. Three points at Elland Road would mathematically secure their place in the play-offs. For the hosts, however, with themselves and Burnley still on level points, it could potentially push them closer to winning the league, rather than just winning promotion.

Since 2010, these sides have faced each other a whopping 19 times, all of which have come in the Championship. Leeds have won the most matches in this tie, winning 15 of the 19, whilst three have ended level. The away side have only won against these opponents once within the last 15 years. When the sides met earlier this season, it finished in a goalless draw at Ashton Gate.
