Arguably the pick of the matches in the Championship on New Year’s Day will see Leeds United taking on Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road. The Whites are currently leading the league standings, while Rovers are in fifth place. Check out our match prediction below. 

After agonisingly missing out on promotion back to the Premier League last season, Leeds United are looking to avoid the playoffs this term, currently two points clear at the summit of the table. 

The Peacocks ended 2024 in fine style with a 1-0 away win over Derby County, which extended their unbeaten run in the league to six games, including five wins and a draw. 

The hosts have been formidable at home this season, currently riding an excellent nine-match winning streak, while they have only dropped points twice at Elland Road this term (W10 D1 L1). 

Meanwhile, Blackburn Rovers ended the year on a downward spiral, with their 1-0 loss to Hull City last weekend marking their third consecutive match without a victory. 

That winless run was a significant drop-off given that the Blue and Whites had won six in a row to that point, and maintained five clean sheets during that period. 

The visitors have played 11 away games this term and have earned 15 points to date. However, they did beat this opponent at home last month and at this venue last season.

Our Leeds vs Blackburn Prediction

Blackburn were building up a nice run of results until mid-December, but they are now winless in three and it will be very difficult for them to end that run this week, heading to Elland Road where their opponents have been excellent this term. 

Indeed, Leeds United have rattled off nine wins in a row at home leading up to this match and scored two or more goals in each of those victories. We feel the hosts will be able to net at least another couple in this one. Our Leeds United vs Blackburn Rovers prediction is Leeds United over 1.5.
