Leeds vs Rotherham Prediction: A straight victory for Leeds.

Leeds welcome bottom place Rotherham to Elland Road for the Championship game. This game couldn't have come at a better time for Leeds, who are in contention for promotion into the English top league next season. Leeds are only 1 point ahead of Ipswich and a win here could see them open the gap if Ipswich fail to beat West Brom in their own game. Leeds are miles ahead of Rotherham and this looks like a one-sided game. Rotherham won't be leaving the bottom of the log irrespective of the result but avoiding a defeat would make a lot of sense for the team in the long run.

Leeds are coming off a win against Plymouth in the FA Cup. The game was decided in extra time and Leeds cruised to a 4-1 win at the end. And their league form has been excellent in the last 5 matches, as they won all 5 games. 

They defeated Bristol City on the road in their last league game by a single goal scored by Wilfried Gnonto in the 47th minute. It was a tough victory for Leeds as they fell behind based on the stats of the game. They managed 39% possession, 1 shot on target and 2 corner kicks. 

Leeds will definitely be hoping to put in a convincing performance against the bottom team in the league and in front of their own fans. They played a 1-1 draw in the last fixture back in November last year.

Leeds have a total of 60 points in 30 games and they remain 3rd on the log.

Rotherham will hope to catch a bit of luck when they travel to the Elland Road to face Leeds. They are currently the poorest team in the division and a confrontation against a top team can only end in one result. 

Rotherham have failed to win in their last 6 games in all competitions. Their last match was against Southampton and they lost 2-0 at home. It took Jan Bednerack 4 minutes to break the deadlock and put Southampton in the lead and in the 38th minute Adam Armstrong doubled the lead. The game ended that way with no other goals from both sides. 

Rotherham managed a draw against Leeds in their last meeting last year. But they have lost their last 3 matches at the Elland Road.

Rotherham have a total of 19 points from 29 matches and they currently sit at the very bottom of the log.

Leeds and Rotherham have played against each other 11 times in the past. Leeds United won 5 games and Rotherham won 4 games and 2 games ended in a draw.

There isn't much to analyse in this game as the quality and form of both clubs are largely different. Leeds will play to win and Rotherham will struggle to cope with the pressure and intensity of the attack. 

Leeds have not lost the last 5 meetings against Rotherham and Rotherham have failed to keep a clean sheet in 7 meetings. Leeds scored first in 4 of their last 5 meetings and there were less than 4.5 cards in their last 5 meetings. There were also less than 10.5 corners in 5 of their last 6 meetings.
