Leeds - Southampton Prediction and Best Odds:

After earning promotion to the Premier League as champions in 2019-20, Leeds United’s tenure in the top flight lasted only three seasons before they finished in 19th place in the 2022-23 campaign. The Whites booked their place in the Playoff final by beating Norwich City in the semis. After a goalless first leg at Carrow Road, they returned to their home patch, Elland Road, and were far too good for the Canaries as they romped to a dominant 4-0 victory. For a large part of the season, Leeds looked likely to earn automatic promotion, but they faltered at the very end, losing three of their final four games of the campaign, including a 2-1 final-day defeat to their opponents on Sunday. Crysencio Summerville has been irreplaceable for Leeds this season. The attacker leads the team with 20 goals this season, which is the third-most in the competition, and he will be looking to add to that tally in the biggest game of the season. 

Meanwhile, Southampton’s 11-year stint in the Premier League came to an end last season when they finished bottom of the table and saw three separate managers come and go across the campaign. The Saints’ Playoff semi-final followed a similar pattern to Leeds’ as they played out a goalless at the Hawthorns but returned to St Mary’s and secured a 3-1 victory to book their place in Wembley. Despite ending the regular season three points behind this opponent, Southampton did beat the Whites home and away, which could give them a psychological edge entering this contest. They secured a 3-1 victory at St Mary’s and snatched a 2-1 win at Elland Road on the final day. However, Southampton have not managed three wins in a row against this opponent since 2012. Adam Armstrong finished second in the race for the Golden Boot, scoring 21 goals and providing 13 assists. He also netted twice in the semi-final victory over the Baggies.
