Leeds take on the visitors Blackburn in the round 25 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 1st at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds will try to achieve their goals for the season at least now. The Whites finally returned to the Premier League in 2020 - Bielsa achieved this. Marcelo managed to keep his charges there, but then he was sacked. And in 2023, the team also went to the Championship. They were considered the favorites, especially since Farke, who had repeatedly raised Norwich to the Premier League, became the coach. But in his new place, he fell behind not only Leicester, but also the sensational newcomer, Ipswich. And in the playoffs, Southampton turned out to be stronger in the final. Despite the failure, Daniel is given another chance. It turns out well, and they win more than half of the matches. Another success was 1-0 with Derby County - after which the team was even able to celebrate the New Year as the sole leader of the division.

Blackburn are well remembered by those who have been following English football for a long time. First of all, under the strong team of the Allardyce era. After another change of owners, at the beginning of the last decade, "Big Sam" was fired - and soon there was a decline. As a result, the team even ended up in League 1. And, having returned to the Championship, they showed extremely average results there. So, last season they finished in 19th place with 53 points. But after the summer holidays, John Eustace's charges managed to improve sharply. The fight for survival was replaced by claims to the top 6. In November-December there were 6 wins in a row, however, they lost to Millwall. And in the last round with Hull, they still remained without points.
The "whites" had 8 wins in 9 head-to-head official matches. But in 2024, they lost to the "tramps" both in the spring and in the fall. The "Peacocks" look stronger overall, and have gained form, unlike their opponents, and will also play at home. A bet suggests that they will win with a handicap of "-1.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Leeds to win with -1.5 handicap.
