Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Millwall, Preston North End, Birmingham City and Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship this month.
Millwall v Leeds United, September 15
Millwall at home are always a hard team to beat, and then there is the rivalry against Leeds. This will be a real test for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, and given that this will be the Whites’ first match after the two-week international break, a draw will not be a bad result.
Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Leeds United
Leeds United v Preston North End, September 18
Preston North End are struggling at the moment, and it is hard to see them challenge Leeds in any way at Elland Road. One should not be surprised if the West Yorkshire outfit bag three or four goals.
Prediction: Leeds United 3-0 Preston North End
Leeds United v Birmingham City, September 22
Birmingham City have made a hugely disappointing start to the season, and there is a danger that they could fight against relegation. Birmingham manager Garry Monk is former Leeds head coach, and he will be determined to win at Elland Road. This could be a very feisty match, but Leeds should just about come out on top.
Prediction: Leeds United 1-0 Birmingham City
Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds United, September 28
Sheffield Wednesday are in good form at the moment, and one should not be surprised if the Owls continue to win after the international break. This is going to be massive test for Leeds, who will do well if they come away from Sheffield with a point.
Prediction: Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Leeds United
