Leeds United vs West Bromwich Albion tips

Leeds are wobbling and their 1-0 defeat to QPR has seen them drop out of the top 2 in the league. 3 of their next 4 fixtures are against top 6 sides so this little run of matches will probably define their season. They host West Brom who will have a great chance to get themselves back in the race for Automatic promotion if they win so they have huge incentive to take the game to Leeds. West Brom have been very decent on the road this season and they've won 8 of their last 9 away games in the Championship. I fancy this to be a very good game between two of the promotion contenders and BTTS seems a decent bet to me.

This is a huge game for both clubs, especially in the back of poor results, Leeds got back on song with back to back home wins, but then surprisingly lost at QPR in mid week, which has put Sheff Utd and Norwich in the driving seat for the two automatic promotion places. West Brom are not far behind Leeds in fourth, butnthey were well beaten by Sheff Utd last weekend at the Hawthorne’s. It’s a must win game for both clubs and the Baggies will be glad they are on the road as they are miles better than at home and I think they might just win again.

The loss to QPR was unexpected but still Leeds United have not been the best when playing away from home, the more reason they will be glad to host West Bromwich Albion in this Friday clash. They have one away win in their last six matches. A win for Leeds will open up the promotion race and with seven wins in their last 10 Championship matches at home, this is what they will be eyeing. In the last seven home matches in the league, Leeds have scored two goals or more in five, while they have failed to score at home in the league just once in the last 14. In the last seven home matches, however, they have one clean sheet and they know what to expect against a West Bromwich Albion side that has scored in nine of the last 10 away matches. West Bromwich Albion head to this game from a loss to another promotion contender, Sheffield United, but they have lost just three of their last 18 Championship matches. They are unbeaten in the last four away league matches, having kept three clean sheets therein and scored two or more in three of those. West Bromwich Albion are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Leeds United and have four straight wins over their hosts going into this game; each of the last four meetings have produced over 2.5 goals and West Bromwich Albion have scored three or more. In the total 62 meetings between the two sides, Leeds United have 25 wins and West Bromwich Albion 23.

Leeds have won 11 drawn 3 and lost 3 of their 17 home league games played, and sit 3rd in the Championship with 64 points, losing their last league game played 1-0 away against QPR.

WBA have already beaten Leeds 4-1 at home this season, and did the double over them when last met in the league again in the Championship 2006/7 season winning 4-2 and 2-3 this fixture. This is a close game both teams going for promotion Leeds did win their last home league game played 2-1 against Bolton, WBA are unbeaten in their last 4 league away games played beating QPR 2-3 in their last league away game played. I am taking WBA to take all 3 points from this game tonight.
