On Sunday afternoon, Leeds United is set to host Millwall in a quest for a win, which not only would restore them to the second place that guarantees automatic promotion, but also could dislodge Leicester City from the top spot in the event of a victory by a margin of two or more goals. The Foxes are sitting out this round due to their FA Cup face-off against Chelsea, so the Whites have a golden opportunity to head into the international break as the Championship leaders.
Managed by Daniel Farke, the team has won 11 out of their last 12 matches and have deservedly settled in second place after Ipswich hiccupped in their match against Cardiff. They now find themselves playing catch-up again, but the reward for winning today is greater than ever before.
The reappointment of Neil Harris as head coach has sparked an incredible response, with the team already having won three matches and drawn one. This has boosted them up to 16th place and they now sit four points clear of the relegation zone.
The visitors have been performing well defensively, but today they'll be facing off against a formidable attacking line, especially with the home crowd behind it. A victory in this match could be transformative for Leeds, and as such, they will throw everything into it. I don't foresee the guests being able to withstand the relentless pressure from their opponents and predict a big loss, which could catapult the Whites to first place.
Given the above considerations, the game ought to be high-scoring, resulting in exceeding the total match score.
