The visitors are just a point shy of the lead in the Championship, but they’re baring down on a tough Festive period. As a side who like to press high and fast, Leeds are likely to have some problems dealing with the busiest period in the fixture list. They’re about to start facing two games per week, but can Marcelo Bielsa’s side come into it as the front-runners for a Premier League place?
The hosts sit second from bottom, following a turbulent few months. They’ve been struggling to meet the demands of the Championship, both on the pitch and off. They’re now a point shy of safety, having slid down the table over the last few months. Last weekend brought a brave performance, but they still lost out at leaders Norwich. That doesn’t bode well for another big test this weekend.
Leeds have won their last four matches on the spin, which has opened up a gap over third place. The visitors are looking good for promotion based on their results so far, and they’ve been impressive on their travels.
Bolton have the second-worst home record in the league. The hosts have lost six of their 10 home matches, and I see them suffering another loss to the visitors.
Bolton are in 23rd place in the Championship, they have no wins in their last 11 league games played and are very much out of form at present losing in their last 3-2 away against Norwich. Leeds are in 2nd place they have won 5 and lost once in their last 6 league games played, also winning their last 4 games in their league on the bounce, they won their last game played 2-1 at home against QPR. The last 5 head to heads this fixture have been 4 draws with Leeds winning last seasons fixture 2-3, I am taking Leeds to win this game today as they are in good form at present and will want to keep pressure on at the top of the table so an away win should be the outcome in this game today.
