Leeds United welcome Rotherham to Elland Road this weekend, where they will look to apply pressure on the top two. However, the Millers held the Whites to a 1-1 draw earlier this season.
Leeds United
Leeds United have recovered from their slight blip in December, and they’re now back on track to gain automatic promotion. The Whites have won all of their last five in the league, with the latest being a tight 1-0 win over Bristol City.
Leeds are currently third in the table after 30 games, with a points tally of 60, and the team excels at both ends of the field, which makes them so difficult to defeat. Daniel Farke’s team have the second-best defence in the league, conceding just 0.87 per match, while they also score the fourth most, 1.73.
Rotherham United
On the other hand, Rotherham are currently right at the bottom of the league, sitting in last place with just three wins all season. They only score 0.86 goals per game on average, the second worst record, while also conceding the second most, 1.86. They’ve also only kept three clean sheets all season.
The Millers are now five games without a win, with their latest match being a 2-0 home defeat to Southampton. In truth, the hosts didn’t have a chance from the off, and they rarely threatened at all throughout.
Verdict?
The game should take a very similar shape to Rotherham’s loss to the Saints, with Leeds dominating.
There will only be one winner this weekend.
The final prediction is Leeds United 3-0 Rotherham United.
