Our prediction for this Premier League match:
High-flying Leeds United will be aiming to put icing on the cake on a very successful season when they take on WBA at their Elland Road on Matchday 38. The Whites are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Patrick Bamford, who has netted 16 goals in the Premier League so far this season, while all Klich, Costa, Forshaw, and Koch are all out of contention through injuries.
The Baggies, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form in the season finale, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. WBA failed to secure the Premier League survival, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Leeds United’s party at Elland Road. Bane Ivanovic and Robert Snodgrass remain in the away team’s recovery room.
