Leeds United hosts Stoke City in round 42 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Thursday, July 9th at Elland Road (Leeds)
The men of Bielsa are very close to achieving their goal – they just should play without any special failures until the end of the season and deservedly promote to the Premier League. They say that Leeds will have a completely different team diluted with stars in the next season, and although Leeds has recently allowed itself some liberties in the form of an unexpected loss of points with outsiders, its advantage in the match against Stoke City is undeniable. Yes, Bamford was not the only one, and other players scored in the game with Blackburn. Nevertheless, a six-point margin for five rounds before the end of the season is a tangible advantage that may allow ending the season on the up note.

Stoke City interrupted its streak in the last round by defeating Barnsley, but the Potters were not capable of doing more during the season. Huge problems in defense and the lack of a qualified attacking line did not allow Stoke to hope for anything other than being in the middle of the standings for several seasons in a row. It turned out even worse — the margin of safety seems to be enough for the finish of the season, but Stoke City is only two points from the relegation zone. And it shows catastrophic results in away matches.
The visitors are certainly not worthy of maintaining a place in the league if we look at their game. But Stoke City can sometimes take a point from a favorite in a tense game. Leeds is still motivated, and it gained four victories in the last five matches. Yes, the scoring has gotten worse, but one goal scored into the Potters’ net looks very predictable. I think Leeds will please its fans with another victory.
Prediction for the match: Leeds to win
