Our prediction for this Championship match:
Leeds United
Match Time & Date:
26/12/2018
10:00 AM
Prediction: 2-0
Blackburn Rovers
Leeds United did remarkably well to come from two goals behind and beat Aston Villa at Villa Park in their last league fixture. The Whites showed character in the triumph over the Villans, with the team extending their winning run in the Championship to seven games. Marcelo Bielsa’s men are determined to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League and we predict that they are going to adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s football game against Blackburn Rovers. The Riversiders, on the other hand, suffered a 1-0 loss to Norwich City in front of home fans at the weekend and they are considered big underdogs in the midweek fixture against Leeds United. The Whites are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict that they are going to retain top position in the Championship standings with a victory over the Riversiders.

Highlighted Player (Pontus Jansson):
Sweden international defender Pontus Jansson started his career at a local club Arlovs Bl before moving to Swedish giants Malmo in 2006. Three years later the talented centre-back was given his first-team debut, off the back of a highly successful season which saw his pick up a prestigious Academy Player of the Year award.
During his five-year stay with Malmo Jansson went on to play 98 league matches, score 6 goals and impose himself as a commanding presence for his club. A ball-playing central defender who likes to keep things clean and simple, Jansson boasts impressive composure and never backs under pressure. The Swedish defender was plucked by the Serie A side Torino in 2014 where he failed to make his big international break.
Three years into his stay in Italy – and a season-long loan at Leeds United after – Pontus Jansson moved to Elland Road on permanent basis. His work-rate, great positioning and impressive physicall ability made him one of the hottest properties in the summer of 2018 with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and other Premier League sides expressing interest in high services, but Jansson opted to remain at Leeds and work under Marcelo Bielsa.
Highlighted Team (Blackburn Rovers):
Blackburn Rovers have been trying to return to the Premier League ever since they dropped to the Championship in 2012. The Riversiders compete in the English second tier and they play their home games at Ewood Park.

It has to be noted that Blackburn Burnley 7-1 in their first ever meeting in the East Lancashire Derby on 3 November, 1888. The Riversiders have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies (1911/1912, 1913/1914, 1994/1995).
