The hosts can extend their winning run: Leeds vs Crystal Palace prediction
Leeds have looked confident at home and regularly create a high volume of chances. Against the backdrop of the visitors' defensive problems, this could prove to be the decisive factor in the match.
Crystal Palace can threaten through their attack, but they allow opponents far too much space in and around their own penalty area. If the hosts maintain their current tempo, they should secure another high-scoring victory.
