Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday will face each other in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday will face each other in the Championship this weekend. The Whites and the Owls will lock horns at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.
It promises to be a hugely entertaining game, with both sides aiming to end up in the top six of the Championship this season. It is a Yorkshire derby, and the atmosphere at Elland Road will be electric.
Former Leeds midfielder David Prutton believes that the match will end in a draw.
“Wednesday’s loss to Brentford did surprise me,” Prutton told Sky Sports. “They had a big penalty shout turned down and quite quickly conceded at the other end.
“This is a tough one and it couldn’t be any closer in the league. Come the end of the season, this result could have a massive bearing on their final positions.
“Leeds saw the intensity of a Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield a few weeks ago and I think it will be the same again against Wednesday.”
A footnote added: “PRUTTON PREDICTS: 2-2.”
Leeds are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 58 points from 33 matches, level on points with sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday.
Garry Monk’s side will head into the game against Wednesday on the back of a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town away from home at Portman Road in the Championship.
The Whites’ form so far this month has been patchy, but they will be expected to step up their game against the Owls.
Wednesday will head into the match against Leeds on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Brentford at the Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship.
