Leeds United vs Watford Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Only three points separate the two sides.
Leeds United will host Watford on Matchday 11 of the EFL Championship. Led by Daniel Farke, Leeds are currently third in the league table and can go on top with a win. In their opening 10 games, Leeds United have accumulated 19 points with five wins, four draws, and just a single loss.
Since their relegation from the Premier League in the 2022/23 season, the Whites are fighting hard to get back to the top flight of English football. Last season they finished third with 90 points and missed out on the promotion by six points.
Watford on the other hand are sitting in the eighth spot in the league table with 16 points. They have emerged victorious in five of their opening 10 matches but have tasted defeat in four others. They have struggled defensively so far this season. The club have conceded 17 goals and needs to fix this problem as soon as possible if they want to return to the premier league for the first time since 2022.

Edo Kayembe (Watford)
