Leeds United vs Bristol City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2024-25

The Whites are two wins away from securing the EFL Championship title.

Leeds United will host Bristol City on Matchday 45 of the EFL Championship. Led by Daniel Farke, Leeds are currently sitting at the summit and can go one step closer to winning the title with a win. In their opening 44 games, they have accumulated 94 points with 27 wins, 13 draws, and just four losses.

Since their relegation from the Premier League in the 2022/23 season, the Whites have finally secured promotion to the first division and will be looking to end their season on a high.

Bristol City, on the other hand, are sitting in the fifth spot in the league table with 67 points. They have emerged victorious in three of their previous five matches but have tasted defeat in their latest encounter against Luton Town. They have struggled defensively so far this season.

The club have conceded 41 goals and need to fix this problem as soon as possible if they want to win the playoffs and secure the promotion to the English Premier League.

Form:

Leeds United (in all competitions): W-W-W-W-D

Bristol City (in all competitions): L-W-D-W-W

Players to watch out for:

Ao Tanaka (Leeds United)

The Japanese international displayed phenomenal quality against Stoke City and Oxford United in recent games. He possesses the ability to dominate and control the midfield against any opponent. He is also very clever with his last runs in the box.

Ao will play a crucial role for the home side in their final few matches, as they cannot afford any more slip-ups.

Anis Mehmeti (Bristol City)

The 24-year-old is the highest goalscorer for Bristol City with 12 goals to his name. His ball-striking technique is his greatest weapon and helps him score many long-range goals. He can operate in central channels but is equally threatening when he drifts out wide as well.

Bristol are coming into this game as the underdogs. All the fans will be expecting a big performance from him.

Match Facts:

• The last match between these two teams ended in a 0-0 draw.
• Leeds United won 6-0 against Stoke City in their last game.
