The visitors look favourites! Sheffield Wansday vs Leeds Prediction
One of the fights within the third round of the Championships will be played on Friday at the Hillsborough Arena, where the local Sheffield Wansday will host Leeds. We offer a prediction for this match from a team of Dailysports experts.
Sheffield Wednesday
‘Owls’ last season disappointed with their results. The team until the last round was fighting for survival, which eventually ended successfully for Sheffield Wansday. ‘Owls’ in time to formalise three wins in a row and it is this that allowed to keep a place in the Championships.
In the first round Sheffield Wansday hosted Plymouth and dismantled the opponent's defence into bricks, registering a 4-0 victory. On the back of their success in the League Cup, the Owls beat Hull City 2-1 away. But last weekend Sheffil Wansday played an away match against Sunderland and lost with a big score of 0:4.
Leeds
‘Peacocks’ throughout last season were fighting for a direct entry to the Premier League, but due to three defeats in the end of the draw Leeds took only on the third line. Leeds failed to qualify for the Premier League through the play-offs - in the final match Leeds lost to Southampton with a minimum score.
In the first round of the season Leeds hosted Portsmouth at home and played out a 3-3 draw, scoring the saving goal on 90+5 minutes. And after that in the League Cup, the Peacocks embarrassed themselves by losing 0:3 at home to Middlesbrough. Despite the advantage in moments failed to unseal the gates of West Bromwich in the second round - 0:0.
