Match preview: Leeds vs Preston

Leeds and Preston will clash at Elland Road for the 42nd round of the Championship. The two teams drew (1-1) when they last faced each other on 14 December 2024. Over the past three years, their head-to-head record has evened out, with each team claiming one victory and one draw in their last three encounters. The home advantage may play a crucial role in this match, considering Preston’s inconsistent performances when playing away compared to their home games.

Team analysis: Leeds

After securing 24 wins, 13 draws, and only 4 losses, Leeds currently sits in 3rd position in the table, having amassed 82 points. Their last match saw them win against Middlesbrough (0-1), following a previous draw with Luton Town (1-1). This team is less impacted by playing at home, achieving similar results irrespective of location; their last 30 games recorded 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses away, scoring 24 goals and conceding 14, while at home they achieved 11 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss with 35 goals scored and 8 conceded.

Leeds have an impressive record, remaining undefeated in their last 17 home games. In their Championship home matches, the most frequent scoreline at half-time has been 1-0 (8 out of 20 games). Despite allowing goals in 7 of their last 10 fixtures, their attacking prowess has been consistent, scoring in 9 of their last 10 matches. There’s a trend for high-scoring games at home, as 19 of their last 20 encounters in this competition ended with more than 1.5 goals. Out of 41 games played, they conceded the first goal 12 times but managed to turn the score around only on 2 occasions.

Leeds United heads into this match following a victory against Middlesbrough. The sole goal in that encounter was netted by Daniel James. They typically line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Wilfried Gnonto, Manor Solomon, and Joel Piroe leading the attack. Midfielder Brenden Aaronson orchestrates the offensive plays. However, the team will be missing Joe Rothwell, Daniel James, and Pascal Struijk due to injury.

Team analysis: Preston

Currently ranked 14th with 48 points, Preston’s record comprises 10 wins, 19 draws, and 12 losses. Their penultimate match ended in a draw at home against Stoke City (1-1) and their most recent fixture was also a draw at home with Cardiff City (2-2). They have performed better at home, with their last 30 matches recording 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses away, compared to 6 wins, 8 draws, and just 1 loss at home. Over their last 10 away games in the Championship, Preston has only managed to earn 8 points from 30 available, achieving 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses. At half-time, the most common scoreline across their 21 Championship fixtures has been 0-0, occurring in 7 matches. Defensive solidity has been a weakness, having conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 41 games, they have never managed to come back after conceding the first goal in 14 instances.

Preston enters this match following a 2-2 draw against Cardiff, with goals from Milutin Osmajic and Stefán Teitur Thorderson. The visiting side typically employs a dynamic 3-5-2 formation, with Milutin Osmajic and Emil Riis forming the attacking duo. In midfield, Mads Frøkjaer-Jensen takes on a key role, directing play and setting the tempo for their attacks. When attacking, the team tends to favour their right flank, exploiting the speed and offensive prowess of full-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden. Missing for this match are Duane Holmes, Freddie Woodman, Brad Potts, Ali McCann, and Jack Whatmough, all due to injury.
