Leicester and Leeds clash in massive top of the table second tier clash
8375

On Friday night, Leicester City and Leeds United go head-to-head at Elland Road in a huge top-of-the-table clash in the Championship.

Leicester City

The Foxes have hit the ground running in the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League last season.

The team from the Midlands are top of the table, 14 points clear of their third-place rivals in the fight for automatic promotion.

Leicester have made a near-perfect start to the Championship campaign, winning 13 of the opening 14 league games of the season while losing just once.

Enzo Maresca’s team has been particularly effective in attack, scoring at least two goals in seven of their previous nine league outings.

Since their only league defeat by Hull in September, Leicester have recorded four straight league wins at the King Power Stadium without conceding a goal in any of the victories.

Leeds United

The Whites have not quite enjoyed the same sort of form in the Championship as their hosts, although they are still very much in the hunt for promotion back to the Premier League.

After a slightly inconsistent start to their league campaign, Daniel Farke’s team have now won four of their last five matches in the English second tier.

They have also scored at least two goals in three out of the previous four games.

Despite the recent upturn in fortunes, Leeds are still nine points adrift of second-place Ipswich Town, who have made an excellent start to the league campaign.

One facet of their game that needs to improve if they are to break back into the automatic promotion spots is their away form, as the Yorkshire outfit have won just once in their last four away games in the English second tier.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Leicester’s seemingly relentless march to promotion will continue in this clash, with the Foxes claiming a win in a relatively low-scoring game.
