Leeds United vs Norwich City Prediction: Leeds have fallen to fourth place

Leeds United will welcome Norwich City at Elland Road in Game Week 29 of the English Championship. Leeds have fallen to fourth place in the table and will be looking to shoot back up. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Leeds were expected to easily defeat Preston North End on Sunday, following their impressive performances against Birmingham City and Cardiff City. However, an early goal by Preston made the Yorkshire team work harder than anticipated, and they only secured a 2-1 victory through a last-minute penalty by Joel Piroe. This win keeps Leeds in contention for the top three spots, as they remain within four points of Ipswich Town who will face leaders Leicester City on Monday. Despite the outcome of that game, Daniel Farke can be pleased with his team's progress, especially at home where they are undefeated in 14 Championship matches. Although their away form needs improvement, Farke's main focus will be on defeating his former team, who are showing potential to be contenders in the playoff race.

David Wagner, the Norwich boss, has faced the possibility of losing his job on a few occasions this season. However, the team's recent performance has solidified his position. Since December, Norwich has only lost two out of twelve games, both with a scoreline of 1-0. Moreover, they are currently on a five-game unbeaten streak. Notably, Norwich has gained seven points in matches against Southampton, Hull City, and West Bromwich Albion, all of which rank higher than Norwich in the table. As a result, Norwich is now only four points away from fifth place, which is realistically the best they can hope for as Leeds is currently 13 points ahead in fourth place. Despite this, Norwich cannot be counted out from closing the gap on Wednesday, as they have earned seven points from their last five away games.

With Norwich showing signs of improvement in recent games, this matchup has the potential to be evenly balanced. Leeds, on the other hand, did not perform convincingly against Preston. Despite this, Leeds carries momentum from their previous game, leading us to predict a narrow victory for Leeds once again.
