"Norwich City" and "Leeds United" will continue their struggle for a breakthrough to the "Premier League" on Sunday afternoon, as they confront each other in the first semi-final playoff game of the "Championship". Both teams finished the championship on a low note, but are determined to secure the last spot in the knockout matches.
The "Canaries'" unbeaten streak at home has reached 15 matches, with the last defeat occurring as far back as the 5th of November. Nonetheless, the team has managed to secure victory in only one of their last five games. Recovered from an injury, Jonathan Rowe should be featured in the starting line-up, with Jacob Sorensen being shifted to the bench.
Daniel Farke's crew lost four out of the most recent six championship games, knocking them out of the running for direct promotion. Following the March break, "Leeds" only managed to play one clean match, conceding a total of 15 goals in eight games. Team composition faces certain difficulties; the frontline is not fully prepared. Patrick Bamford's participation seems unsure, whilst Daniel James is likely to miss the game.
The visitors were one of the most powerful teams throughout the season, but they faltered at the very end. Perhaps the accumulated fatigue took its toll, or the players couldn't cope with the increased pressure. Either way, "Leeds" has performed quite well in attack, so the most reliable option would be to take the modest ITO1,5 at one goal.
