Bristol City vs Leeds United

, KO: 12:30 Oct 26, 2024, Ashton Gate
Leeds United

Leeds United are now red-hot favourites for the EFL Championship title and they will be looking to keep their fine form going with a win on the road at Bristol City.

Daniel Farke's side looked a bit out of sorts at the start of the season but that was understandable with some key players moving to new clubs after the pain of losing last season's play-off final.

The Elland Road side are certainly hitting their stride now though and Tuesday's 2/1 victory at home to Watford made it six games without a defeat.

That has moved them up to third, just three points behind leaders Sunderland, so Farke will want his players to keep the foot on the gas against Bristol City.

It won't be easy against the Robins though as they have made a decent start to the campaign, with Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Stoke leaving them in 10th place.

Bristol City are unbeaten at home in the league this term but are currently without boss Liam Manning, who is taking extended leave after the tragic death of his son.

How the bookies view it: Leeds to stay on a roll

Even though the Robins are unbeaten at home in the league, Betano make Leeds United 3/4 favourites for this clash. Bristol City are 16/5 outsiders and the draw pays 13/5.

Recent head to head: Robins out to break the curse

Leeds United have been a bogey team for Bristol City as the Robins have gone nine games without a win in this fixture. Eight of those matches have ended in victories for the Elland Road side, including a 1-0 triumph on their last visit to Ashton Gate back in February.

Players to watch: Joseph a livewire

With the injury list clearing up, Farke now has an abundance of riches in attack. Mateo Joseph scored the winner against Sheffield United off the bench and the Spanish Under-21 star looks their best option up top. He's 15/8 with Bet365 for anytime scorer here.

Irish midfielder Jason Knight chipped in with seven goals for the Robins last term and is off the mark for this season too. He's 13/2 with Bet365 for anytime scorer which looks a little overpriced.

Probable line-ups

Bristol City still have a few players out, with Cameron Pring, Ayman Benarous, Robert Dickie and Rob Anderson still sidelined. Leeds have a much healthier squad now with only Ilia Gruev, Ethan Ampadu and Max Wober out.

Bristol City: O'Leary, McCrorie, Vyner, McNally, Tanner, Bird, Hirakawa, Williams, Mehmeti, Knight, Wells.

Leeds United: Meslier, Bogle, Firpo, Struijk, Rodon, Rothwell, Aaronson, Ramazani, Tanaka, Gnonto, Joseph.

Anything else catch the eye?

BTTS has landed in four of the last five at home for Bristol City and also in the last two road trips for Leeds. That makes it a good option here but it only pays 31/40 at Betano. Adding on 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 13/10 at Bet365.

With Leeds boasting pace down the flanks it could lead to a few corners for the title favourites. Over 11.5 match corners pays 11/8 at Bet365 while the same firm offer 6/5 on over five first-half flag kicks.
