Prediction: 3-1
Cardiff
Leeds United will be aiming to retain top position in the standings when they take on Cardiff City in the Championship round 30. The Whites are seen as No. 1 candidates for automatic promotion, both all Sheffield United, Burnley, and Sunderland are still breathing down their neck. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Leeds have been impressive at their Elland Road this term (12-2-1). Patrick Bamford and Pascal Struijk should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Derby County, but given their anything but good away record in the Championship, we are going to place our bets on the league leaders this time out. The likes of Turnbull, Reindorf, Ramsey, O’Dowda, and Davies should miss out with injuries for the visiting side. Earlier this season, Leeds United recorded a 2-0 win over Cardiff City in South Wales.
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.
