Preston vs Leeds Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday evening, Preston North End and Leeds United meet at Deepdale. The home team still has a small chance of promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs, while Leeds United threatens to miss out on direct promotion. Which team recovers from a disappointing 40th game round? Looking ahead!
Preston North End:
Preston North End saw the chances of participating in the play-offs diminish last Saturday due to an undeserved 0-1 home defeat against Sheffield United. Three days later it gets another chance to show a top team that it can win. Three points are also necessary because with a five-point deficit at number six in Bristol City, the play-offs seem further away than ever. Only a win over Leeds United can keep the promotion dream intact. And then it still depends on the results of other teams in the rest of the competition whether it qualifies for the dessert of the season.
Manager Alex Neil looked ahead to the game against Leeds United on Sunday afternoon: ‘We have already played a great season. We have had many injuries throughout the season. The players who had to stand were there. It is already a memorable season for us. I was disappointed with the result against Sheffield United. We had the better chances but forgot to reward ourselves. Leeds United is the most impressive team this year in the Championship. I don’t want to do anything to Norwich City and Sheffield United, but how Leeds United performs over the entire season is fantastic. ‘
Leeds United:
Leeds United suffered another defeat in an away game last weekend. In Birmingham visiting Birmingham City, 1-0 was lost. Che Adams gave the home team the lead after half an hour of play and Leeds United did not get over this blow in the remainder of the game. Despite a surplus of possession, it only managed to get through the posts once. While manager Garry Monk’s team managed to shoot the goal seven times with twenty-seven percent. It was such a game that Leeds United has played more often this season. Having an optical predominance and playing well-groomed football, but when it really has to bite, it only stays with barking.
Because of this result, Leeds United is third again and the gap with number two Sheffield United has risen to a point. Of course there is no man overboard yet, but with six more games to play, the team of Marcelo Bielsa cannot afford another misstep or the play-offs will ogle. Marcelo Biels looked ahead to the game on Monday afternoon: ‘Our motivation to come second is great. This year’s goal is to promote directly to the Premier League. In the last part of the season we want to solve this ‘problem’ and our motivation is better than ever. Preston North End has its own unique style of play and good players who perform that system to perfection. Pablo Hernandez is a doubtful case for tomorrow. When he can’t play, Kemar Roofe plays.
