Leeds take on the visitors Leicester in the round 34 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, September 23rd at Elland Road (Leeds).
Leeds United are gradually living up to expectations. The "Whites," having spent several years in the Premier League, returned to the country's second division. But they clearly intend not to get stuck here as they did after the last relegation. In order to secure promotion, they brought in Farke, who had previously achieved success in the Championship with Norwich. At first, things didn't go smoothly, but now the "Peacocks" are doing well. Not only in the league but also in the cup, where, although the opponents were modest, they only managed to beat Plymouth in a replay - let's see how they fare against Chelsea at the end of the month. They faced Plymouth in the last round and secured a confident 2-0 away win.

Leicester City currently has no equals. The "Foxes" recently experienced a clear decline. But since the end of January, they have managed to regain their form. The team is also still in the cup, where, after defeating Millwall, they thrashed Birmingham 3-0. But the main goal is to return to the Premier League as soon as possible. Enzo Maresca and his team were able to aggressively tackle this task from the very first rounds, maintaining leadership and steadily increasing their lead, eventually reaching a ten-point mark. However, the gap has narrowed: in the last round, the favorite surprisingly lost 1-2 at home to Middlesbrough. Not fatal, but a somewhat unpleasant "wake-up call" before the trip to the main pursuer.
The "Foxes" had a run of 4 games without defeat in the Premier League. But in the Championship, the "Whites" managed to win 1-0 in Leicester in November. Both sides will be aiming for victory. So, let's expect "total over 2.5 goals" here.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
