Leeds United vs Swansea City Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Leeds United enter their home clash with Swansea City as firm favourites, as Daniel Farke’s men sit top of the Championship with 80 points from 38 games, while Swansea are 16th in the table with 44 points from 38 matches.

The Peacocks are the top scorers in the Championship with 76 goals in 38 matches, an average of two goals per game. On top of this, Leeds also have the best home record in the division, as they have accumulated 48 points from 19 home matches at Elland Road, winning 15, drawing three and losing just once while averaging 2.47 goals per game, while conceding just nine times.

Swansea’s away record is the 15th-best in the Championship, seeing them earn just 18 points from 19 games on the road, winning five, drawing three and losing 11 times. The Swans have had issues at both ends of the pitch on their travels, as they have scored just 13 goals while conceding 28 times.

On top of this, Leeds have won all of the last four head-to-head meetings between these two sides, scoring three or more goals in the last three matches, a trend which is likely to continue here.

Prediction: Leeds United 3-0 Swansea

On Saturday (29/03/2025), top of the table Leeds United hosts 16th-place Swansea City at Elland Road in what is expected to be a fairly one-sided contest.

Date: 29/03/2025

Location: Elland Road

Time: 3pm

The last meeting between these two sides on 24th November produced a seven-goal thriller, as Leeds United emerged as 4-3 victors at the Swansea.com Stadium following Willy Gnonto’s 91st-minute goal, just one minute after Florian Bianchini had levelled the score at 3-3 in the 90th-minute of the game.

Meanwhile, the last head-to-head clash at Elland Road was played out in November 2023, with Leeds running out as 3-1 winners in that match, thanks to goals by Joel Piroe, Georginio Rutter and Daniel James after Jamie Paterson had given the Swans a shock first-minute lead.

Leeds are having an excellent campaign, as they are top of the Championship table with just eight games to go, however, their margin for error is minimal as they are only ahead of Sheffield United on goal difference, while being just two points ahead of third-place Burnley.

Farke’s side have won just two of their last five matches, which is something that will concern fans of the Elland Road club, having typically fallen away into the play-off places in recent seasons due to nerves kicking in during the race for promotion.

On the other hand, Swansea’s league position is slightly precarious, as they are 16th with 44 points from 38 games, which sees them sit just six points above 22nd-place Derby County in the final relegation place who have recently started to pick-up form under new manager John Eustace.

Swansea will be hoping to earn their first win at Elland Road since August 2019 when Wayne Routledge fired in a dramatic 90th-minute winner.

Leeds United versus Swansea City will not be broadcast live on UK TV due to the 3pm blackout law.

Leeds United

Ethan Ampadu, Maximilian Wober and Patrick Bamford are all expected to miss Leeds’s clash with Swansea on Saturday due to injury.

Swansea City

Harry Darling and Myles Peart-Harris are both injury doubts for Swansea’s trip to Elland Road on Saturday.

Leeds United

Prior to the international break, Leeds earned a vital point away at QPR as they battled back from 2-0 down thanks to a Morgan Fox own goal and a 51st-minute strike from Jayden Bogle.

In the run-up to that match, the Peacocks had earned crucial wins over Millwall (2-0) and Sheffield United (3-1) on either side of a 1-1 home draw with West Bromwich Albion and a shock 1-0 away defeat at Portsmouth.

Swansea City

Swansea City enters this game off the back of two defeats to Burnley (2-0) and Watford (1-0).

Typically, the Swans’ two wins in their last five matches both came at home against Middlesbrough (1-0) thanks to a goal from Eom Ji-Sung, as well as against Blackburn Rovers where Zan Vipotnik, Peart-Harris and Liam Cullen all got on the scoresheet. Their other result in this sequence of fixtures was a 0-0 away draw at Preston North End.
