West Brom vs Leeds United Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Championship 2024-25

Leeds United will hope to earn promotion to Premier League this season.

After the entertainment provided on the opening weekend across the leagues, the big game in the Championship takes place at The Hawthorns between West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United.

Recent meetings between these two sides have been close but there are all the indications this one will be different, they both have struggles in defence but have shown desirable qualities in attack. The Baggies finished fifth last season and a significant factor in their position was their impressive form at the Hawthorns, this time they will look for promotion for sure.

As for the visitors based on the last season, Leeds United are the favourites to win the Championship title this season. Leeds United have to be consistent with their performance this season if they want to go up, but this season as well it will be a difficult task. This upcoming fixture will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Josh Maja (West Brom)

Josh Maja accelerates quickly but isn’t the quickest over long distances, although he is agile enough to turn quickly on the ball and bait defenders with body faints deep in the attacking half and he is energetic and capable of pressing for the full 90 minutes. His hard-working attitude is very much liked by fans and the coaching staff.

Ethan Ampadu (Leeds United)

Ampadu is a versatile player with the ability to play as a number six in midfield, as a centre back and also as a right-back. He likes to have the ball with him and likes to break the opposition’s shape with his pinpoint accurate passes. He is good with short as well as long passes, he is a hardworking player and always tries his best on the field and likes to have freedom on the pitch.
