Leeds United will look to maintain the pressure on Championship leaders Leicester City as they welcome Millwall to Elland Road on Sunday. While Millwall have shown some good form lately, Leeds appear to be playing at a higher level and should have the upper hand in this one.
Leeds United appear to be getting better as the season progresses and are unbeaten in their last 12 matches. They have picked up 11 wins in that run and are currently second on the table, three points off the pace.
In fact, Leeds United have been so good in recent times, they can climb to the top of the Championship on goal difference if results go their way this weekend. They head into Sunday’s clash off the back of a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday last time out with Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto getting the goals.
Elland Road has been pivotal for Leeds United this season as they are yet to taste defeat at home so far. Daniel Farke’s men have won their last seven matches in front of their fans, keeping five clean sheets in that run.
Millwall have also shown some good form lately and are unbeaten in their last four matches, claiming three wins in that run. They have moved up to 16th on the standings, five points above the relegation zone.
Neil Harris’ men claimed a 1-0 victory over Birmingham City in their previous Championship fixture. They were made to work hard by their visitors and had to wait till the 90th minute before Japhet Tanganga got the goal.
Millwall have also found things difficult on their travels, claiming just two wins from their last 10 away matches. They have suffered six defeats in that run but held out for a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers in their previous fixture on the road.
