Prediction: 1-2
Leeds United
Bet365 Stadium will host Wednesday’s football game between Stoke City and Leeds United, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Potters aim to build on a 2-1 win over Sunderland, but they face a tough challenge against the promotion hopefuls. With no fresh injury worries to report, Alex Neil is unlikely to make too many changes to the team that defeated the Black Cats at the weekend, while all Ben Wilmot, Tyrese Campbell, Lewis Baker, and Emre Tezgel remain in the recovery room.
The Whites, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Championship. Leeds United showed character in a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Norwich City and we predict that they are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Wednesday evening. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be talented Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville, who produced his best performance of the season against the Canaries. The likes of Djed Spence, Junior Firpo, and Stuart Dallas miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
At the club level, he began his youth career with Watford and signed his first professional contract in September 2010 at the age of 17. Bonham's first-ever professional appearance came on the 4th of May, 2013 as a substitute against Leeds United in the final game of the 12/13 Championship season.
This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
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.
