Our prediction for this Championship match:
Swansea.com Stadium will be the centre of attention when Swansea City and Leeds United go head to head in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The South Wales outfit aim to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Burnley, with the team eyeing their fourth home win of the process. Liam Cullen, who impressed in Wales’ 4-1 win over Iceland, is pushing for a start, while all Ji-sung Eom, Andrew Fisher, and Josh Ginnelly remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Whites, on the other hand, are seen as the main candidates for automatic promotion, but Daniel Farke’s men need to keep on making progress if they are to secure a top-two finish. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards at Swansea.com Stadium as the Swans are tough to beat at home. All Largie Ramazani, Ilia Gruev, and Ethan Ampadu are out of contention with injuries, while Manor Solomon is back from international duty with Israel.
Highlighted Team (Leeds United):
Leeds United is one of the clubs that won the FA Cup. The Whites outplayed Arsenal in the final of the prestigious competition back in 1972, but they clinched the League Cup trophy as well. Leeds United faced the Gunners in the 1967/1968 League Cup final and it has to be noted that Terry Cooper scored the winner for the Whites.
Leeds play their home games at Elland Road and the capacity of the stadium is 37,914. The club was founded in 1919 and they have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies ever since (1968/1969, 1973/1974, 1991/1992). Leeds United made it to the Champions League final in 1975, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the title clash.
The Whites were impressive under David O’Leary. The likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Ian Harte were part of the Elland Road outfit back then and they did well to reach the semis of the Champions League in 2001.
