Leeds vs Swansea prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-11-28 19:45.
Leeds will feel as if they missed out on a golden chance to cement themselves as the front-runners of the pack chasing the Championship's top-two sides, having let two precious points go after taking the lead in a 1-1 draw with lowly Rotherham last time out. The disappointment would’ve been compounded considering Leeds have been on fire lately, winning seven of their nine matches prior (L2) including victory over leaders Leicester.
The majority of that fine work has been in front of their beloved Elland Road faithful, where Daniel Farke’s men are currently enjoying a five-game winning streak at home. That has helped the Whites remain the only unbeaten side at home this Championship season (W5, D3), aided by possessing the league’s best home defensive record with only six goals conceded.
Unlike their high-flying hosts, visitors Swansea have been trending in the opposite direction, with their 2-2 draw against Hull at the weekend making it only one win in their last six matches (D2, L3). The Swans led 2-0 after 23 minutes in that game, but conceded twice in the second-half to take their tally of dropped points after scoring first to 16 this season – a league-high.
Those are points Michael Duff and his men can ill-afford to lose going forward, as they’re drifting further from the top-half of the table and closer to the relegation zone. On the road, they’ve blown hot and cold so far this season, having started off their campaign with three losses on their travels, only to then go four games unbeaten (W3, D1), all before losing to Ipswich – albeit narrowly – in their last away match.
Players to watch: Daniel James will aim to put his former side to the sword early here, since his four goals for Leeds this season have all come at home and before half-time. Swansea will be hoping that Jamal Lowe can undercut James and place them in the ascendancy, since seven of his last nine goals have served as the match opener.
Hot stat: Leeds have scored exactly two goals in ten of the last 13 matches when hosting Swansea (W10, D2, L1).
