Leeds take on the visitors Shrewsbury in the round 1/64-finals of English FA Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 9th at Eland Road (Leeds).
Leeds have returned to its familiar level. Peacocks are undoubtedly one of the most popular clubs in England. And in some ways, a legendary project, at least their list of achievements is impressive. However, it was only Bielsa who managed to finally bring the Whites back to the Premier League and keep them at a decent level there. Then, they struggled to stabilize their game, and the iconic manager was dismissed without hesitation... Marsh gave them a one-year reprieve, but in the end, they still unenthusiastically dropped back to the Championship this spring. Now, under the guidance of Farke, the rejuvenated team is trying to make a comeback. Daniel made his debut in the season opener against Cardiff. Moreover, it was one of the last matches of the first round of that division – they only faced each other on Sunday.

Shrewsbury are holding its ground quite confidently. Shrews are actually 6-time winners of the cup. However, not in England, but in Wales. Furthermore, three times a representative of the West Midlands lost in the finals there. However, in tournaments, the team participates in English leagues, of course. Currently, they are holding their position in the middle of League One, the country's third division. Moreover, the team has only managed to break into the future Championship in the 1980s. After that, they even dropped down to the Conference for a season, so the fans are quite satisfied with their current 12th position in League One. The new start was marked by a match against Cheltenham, where they managed to secure a minimal victory.
The only encounter was in the League Cup in 2012. Back then, Leeds demolished their opponent 4-0. The strengths here are clearly not comparable. A legendary club that played in the Premier League just 3 seasons ago is facing Shrews. Let's bet on the hosts with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Leeds to win with -1.5 handicap.
