Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Birmingham City in the Championship this weekend.
The West Yorkshire outfit will take on Birmingham at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Bielsa has admitted that Leeds will find it tough to score goals against Birmingham even at home.
The Blues are 20th in the Championship table at the moment and have conceded seven goals in eight league matches.
Bielsa told Leeds’s official website: “Birmingham are a team that concedes very few goals, so that in itself is a difficulty.
“The few goals that Birmingham have conceded, doesn’t correspond with their league ranking. So the fact that they don’t concede many goals, is an important difficulty for us.”
Tough game?
Leeds are a side in form and are going strong in the Championship at the moment.
Given the quality of players they have and their home advantage, the Whites will head into the match against Birmingham high on confidence and in great form.
However, Birmingham have a former Leeds head coach – Garry Monk – in charge, and that will make things interesting.
An early goal for Monk’s team could make it tricky for Leeds, but the West Yorkshire outfit have shown this season that they can step up when the going gets tough.
It is hard to see Leeds drop all three points against Birmingham at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.
