Odds are subject to change. Leeds – 1/3 Draw – 19/5 Sheffield Wednesday – 15/2 Leeds v Sheffield Wednesday prediction Leeds returned to winning ways in the last week’s Yorkshire derby in the third round of the FA Cup, getting the better of Harrogate after dropping points in each of their last two Championship matches. Daniel Farke’s side are now unbeaten in their last nine matches heading into this weekend’s clash with their fellow Yorkshire rivals, and begin the weekend sitting pretty at the top of the Championship table. The battle for the title and automatic promotion looks set to go right to the wire once again this season, with only three points currently separating the top four sides following the most recent round of second tier matches, with twists and turns taking place every week. The Whites head into the weekend having picked up more points than any other side from their home matches this season, and have won 10 of their last 11 matches at Elland Road, though conceded a 90th minute equaliser against Blackburn in their last home game in the Championship. Sheffield Wednesday make the daunting trip to Elland Road having won just one of their last five matches following a penalty shoot-out defeat to Coventry in the FA Cup last weekend. Danny Rohl’s side have lost only one of their last six Championship matches, though that defeat did come in their most recent away game in the league at Preston. The Owls’ 2-2 draw against Millwall a fortnight ago saw the South Yorkshire side drop down to 10th in the table, though remain only four points behind the play-off places as they chase an unlikely promotion. Wednesday have impressed on their travels this season with only Burnley and Sheffield United having won more matches on the road in the Championship this season than them, with five wins in their last eight away games in the league. Leeds head into Sunday lunchtime’s clash as strong favourites for victory, and despite Wednesday’s strong away record it would be a big surprise for the hosts to drop points at home in back to back matches – I think a 3-1 home victory could be on the cards. Leeds v Sheffield Wednesday betting tips Five goal contributions in his last five matches has seen Joel Piroe reach the top of both Leeds’ goals and assists chart, with only three Championship players having scored more goals in all competitions than the Dutchman all season. Leeds have won 10 of their last 11 matches at Elland Road in all competitions, but matches containing Sheffield Wednesday have seen plenty of goals in recent weeks, with 20 goals scored in their last four league games, and that record could continue on Sunday.
