Leeds United vs Plymouth Argyle Prediction: Teams are on opposite ends

Leeds United will welcome Plymouth Argyle at Elland Road in Game Week 13 of the English Championship. Both teams are sitting on opposite ends. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Leeds United team

Leeds United will look to make it eight games without defeat in the Championship this weekend as they look to move into the top two of the league. Under the tutelage of Daniel Farke, they have had a good first year back in England's second tier and are now looking to win promotion back to the Premier League after narrowly missing out last season via the playoff final.

Leeds United currently lie in third position with 23 points gathered from the first 12 games, having lost only one match this season - at home to promotion rivals Burnley in September. Since then, they have accumulated 15 points from the last seven matches, picking up important victories over Sheffield United and Watford.

With only a draw against Bristol City, Leeds United are just two points behind the second-placed Burnley on goal difference and have all the reasons to look at a win at Elland Road and further consolidate themselves near the top of the table.

Leeds United Predicted XI

Meslier; Byram, Rodon, Struijk, Firpo; Tanaka, Rothwell; Gnonto, Aaronson, Solomon; Joseph

Plymouth Argyle form

Facing them is an away side going to Elland Road to try and end a run of three games without victory as they continue in their struggle to be promoted to the English second tier. Plymouth Argyle was almost relegated from the EFL Championship to League One last year and promoted a new boss, the former Everton and Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, who arrived this summer. However, they are now in 21st position in the Championship after 12 games with only 12 points to their name.

Plymouth Argyle won all their three games at Home Park but has not done much on the road where they have gathered only one point from their first six games. They have the worst away record in the Championship at this point in the season, having conceded thirteen goals and scored just once. Despite Plymouth Argyle having suffered heavy defeats to Cardiff City and Millwall following the last international break, they managed to salvage a point against Preston North End in their last outing with Freddie Issaka, Andre Gray, and Morgan Whittaker each scoring.

While they can draw some confidence from their last game, Plymouth Argyle will look to improve their away form and secure a crucial win at Elland Road in order to pull further clear of the relegation zone.

Plymouth Argyle Predicted Lineup

Grimshaw; Pleguezuelo, Szucs, Palsson, Mumba; Forshaw, Randell; Whittaker, Al Hajj, Issaka; Hardie
