Leeds take on the visitors Bristol in the round 45 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, April 28th at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds United are determined to return to the Premier League at the second attempt. The Peacocks are one of the most popular clubs in England. However, they struggled for a long time to climb back into the Premier League. It was Marcelo Bielsa who finally succeeded and even managed to keep his team competitive at the top level. But eventually, the Argentine was dismissed, and Leeds were relegated in 2023. The task of bringing them back was entrusted to Daniel Farke, who had previously achieved promotion twice with Norwich City. Ipswich Town unexpectedly took the second automatic promotion spot, while Leeds lost to Southampton in the playoff final. Farke kept his job but knew very well that avoiding the playoffs this season was crucial. Although Leeds had some ups and downs, an impressive winning streak in April allowed them to firmly establish themselves alongside Burnley at the top of the current standings. In their last match, they destroyed Stoke City 6-0, showcasing their attacking strength. Leeds have now scored 15 goals in their last four matches, conceding only twice during this dominant run.

Bristol City have only made a couple of brief appearances in the country's top flight throughout their history. In the last decade, they had to spend time in League One, but after returning to the Championship, they established themselves as a solid mid-table side. Last season, they finished in 11th place. It seemed likely that Liam Manning's men would produce a similar mid-table campaign this time around. However, starting from February, they hit an impressive run of form and by mid-spring had surprisingly broken into the top six — though there's still work to do to secure a playoff spot. In their last outing, they suffered a surprising 1-3 defeat to Luton Town, which was a major setback. Bristol City have won just once in their last five league games, slipping dangerously close to falling out of the playoff places. The team's recent away form is also concerning, with only one victory from their last six matches on the road.
Bristol City last beat Leeds in 2016. Since then, there have been only two draws in ten meetings — including a goalless stalemate in October. The Peacocks are a stronger side and should reaffirm their dominance on the pitch — we back them to win with a "-1 goal" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Leeds to win with -1.0 handicap.
