Leeds United look to hold on to top spot in the EFL Championship as they take on Blackburn Rovers on Saturday 30th November.
Can Leeds United stay top of the table as they take on a tough to beat Blackburn Rovers side who have started to turn their form around in recent weeks?
Blackburn Rovers Predicted Line Up - Aynsley Alan William Pears; Harry Pickering, Danny Batth, Dominic Hyam, Callum Brittain; Lewis Travis, Sondre Tronstad; Ryan Hedges, Todd Cantwell, Tyrhys Dolan; Yuki Ohashi
Blackburn have won both of their previous two games leaving them in eighth place. Just two points off the top six. A win here potentially putting them in a playoff spot. Or at least taking them one step closer to that.
Blackburn interestingly haven’t got an amazing scoring record or defensive record really. They have scored 20 and conceded 17. It is their ability to find a way to win that truly sets them apart even when they don’t score goals. This something they will be hopeful to replicate here.
Leeds United Predicted Lineup - Illan Meslier; Sam Byram, Pascal Struijk, Joe Rodon, Jayden Bogle; Joe Rothwell, Ao Tanaka; Manor Solomon, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto; Joël Piroe
Leeds are on fire at the minute and are top of the league as it stands. This having picked up 35 points from 17. They will need to keep picking up key victories though if they are to maintain that place in the table. Wins against teams like Blackburn will be especially crucial.
Luckily for them they have scored more goals than any other team (31) while also conceding the joint fourth least in the league (12). This will put them in good stead for another strong victory in this match.
This will be the 105th match between Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United. Leeds have the advantage with 48 wins while Blackburn have won 33. There have also been 23 draws.
Interestingly Blackburn won their previous match against Leeds back in April. However Leeds have won eight of the last ten games against this weekend’s hosts.

This is bound to be a good game with both teams being in fairly good form as of recent. We don’t see any massive swing for either team to win this one with it meaning so much to both teams. Expect an even contest.
We are backing A Draw in this match at odds of 11/4. £10 having the potential to return £37.50.
