Our prediction for this FA Cup match:
Leeds United will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they face Millwall at their Elland Road in the FA Cup last 32. The Whites rolled over Cardiff 7-0 in their last home game, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. Joel Piroe, who scored a brace against the Bluebirds, should keep his place in the starting XI, while fellow attacker Patrick Bamford remains in the recovery room.
The Lions, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Championship ahead of the trip to Leeds. However, Millwall have suffered a loss in each of their last three meetings with Leeds United at Elland Road, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Daniel Farke’s troops. All Calum Scanlon, Dan McNamara, and Ryan Leonard are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
