Leeds United do battle with Ipswich at Elland Road on Saturday.
Ian Holloway has told Sky Sports that he expects Ipswich Town to earn a score draw in Saturday’s visit to Leeds United.
Leeds go into the match on a high after winning their last two Championship games – a 2-1 win over Blackburn, followed by a 2-0 victory at Cardiff City.
It is not a great time to face a United side who also beat Blackburn 1-0 in the League Cup in midweek to reach the fourth round of the competition.
Manager Garry Monk has them confident up front and resolute at the back, with Leeds’ established back four of Luke Ayling, Pontus Jansson, Kyle Bartley and Charlie Taylor all looking very decent in recent outings.
Ipswich, meanwhile, go into the clash on the back of a dull 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.
Mick McCarthy’s side have enjoyed a better start to the Championship than Leeds, however, and Holloway has revealed to Sky Sports that he does not back against the Tractor Boys away from home – a tradition he isn’t breaking this weekend.
“Leeds have won their last two home games but they haven’t kept a clean sheet at Elland Road for 11 matches.
“I’ve got a theory of never betting against a Mick McCarthy team away from home and it usually comes up trumps. Score draw.”
