Leeds United face Bristol City on Tuesday night in the Championship and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.
Leeds United 2-1 Bristol City
Leeds need a win after their home loss to Cardiff at the weekend and are looking to get back on track against the out of form Robins. With Pontus Jansson likely to be missing, Leeds could find it difficult to shut out Tammy Abraham, but I am tipping the Whites to manage a win with Chris Wood bagging both goals.

A Pontus Jansson-deprived Leeds is a different animal entirely. Defensively chaotic in their 2-0 home defeat to Cardiff, the Swedish centre-back is doubtful for the midweek clash with a Bristol City who netted three at Derby on Saturday. Expect goals then.

Leeds United 2-2 Bristol City
Bristol City are now on a run of three games without defeat, whilst Leeds have lost back-to-back outings. Despite that, Leeds will still be most people’s favourites, but the Robins showed with their 3-3 draw at Derby that they have serious firepower now with Tammy Abraham and Matty Taylor to call upon up front. A score-draw is my prediction.
Leeds United 1-0 Bristol City
Leeds United need to get back to winning ways to avoid a blip becoming a slump and they should have enough to overcome a Bristol City side struggling at the wrong end of the table. That said, it could be closer than some think.
Leeds United 2-1 Bristol City
With the shock defeat to Cardiff, Leeds have slipped off the pace a little. Surely Garry Monk will inspire them to turn things around against Bristol City, who, although improved after a torrid run, are still in trouble.

Leeds United 2-1 Bristol City
A couple of bad results have raised a few doubts about Leeds, and a return to winning ways is much needed against the Robins. Lee Johnson’s side have improved of late following a disastrous run of form, but the hosts should have enough to beat them, I feel.
