Prediction: 1-1
Leeds United
All eyes will be on Carrow Road when Norwich City and Leeds United go head to head in the Championship playoffs semis, first leg. The Canaries suffered a 1-0 loss at Birmingham in their last game of the regular season, but they are surely capable of matching the Whites in front of home fans. All Ashley Barnes, Liam Gibbs, and Onel Hernandez are out of contention with injuries, while fit-again defender Dimitrios Giannoulis should start from the bench.
Leeds United, on the other hand, failed to secure automatic Premier League promotion. As the Whites experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back defeats to QPR (0-4) and Southampton (1-2), away win should not be considered. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Daniel James, Darko Gyabi, and Pascal Struijk are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Grant Hanley):
Grant Hanley is Scottish footballer who plays for Norwich City as defender. Hanley was born in Dumfries, Scotland, on November 20, 1991 and he started his youth career at Queen of the South. After ending his spells with Crewe Alexandra and Rangers, the Scottish player joined English club Blackburn Rovers, where he started his senior career.
After scoring eight goals in 183 appearances for the Riversiders in league matches, he moved to fellow English club Newcastle United in July, 2016 for an undisclosed fee. Grant Hanley, though, made no more than 10 appearances for Newcastle United in the Championship before joining Norwich City. The 191-cm-tall defender made his full international debut for Scotland against Wales on in May, 2011.
He scored his first goal for the Scotland national football team in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Wales. His contract with Norwich City should expire on June 30, 2021.
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.
