Leeds vs Norwich Prediction & Picks - Championship

Prediction published on 5/16/24, 11:34 AM  by Tyler Doty in Soccer Picks

After a dismal first leg that ended in a 0-0 draw last week, Leeds United and Norwich meet again on Thursday night to determine who will face Southampton or West Bromwich for a place in the Premier League. In front of their home crowd, Daniel Farke's team does not intend to miss this opportunity, especially after losing the chance for direct promotion to the best league in the world. However, the Peacocks are experiencing one of their toughest periods of the year at the end of the championship, with only one win on English soil since April 6, a total of seven matches without a single victory. Additionally, the Whites are facing significant doubts in the final third, having scored only once in the last 270 minutes. If Meslier and his teammates don't show a fighting spirit from the kickoff, they risk experiencing a disastrous evening.

The Canaries are not naive. The home team's momentum allows McLean's teammates to be confident before the start of the match. However, David Wagner's men must remain cautious away from home as their form is quite average: three draws and one defeat in the space of three weeks. Lacking efficiency for 180 minutes, the yellows and greens must reverse this trend or risk remaining in the Championship for another year.
