Leeds vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (18 October)

Winning away games was something that Sheffield Utd did regularly towards the back end of last season, with the eventual runners-up securing five victories in their final eight trips. Leeds, by way of contrast, ran into plenty of difficulties on their own patch, suffering four defeats in seven top-flight fixtures, so they have little reason for optimism ahead of this clash.

When Sheffield Utd come calling at the top table of the Championship, under 2.5 goals tends to follow, with this being the case in 17 of their last 19 away matches, including in nine on the bounce of late. As for Leeds, 14 of their previous 19 home games at this level have also produced two goals or fewer, including a win and a draw against these opponents.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 10 top-flight fixtures involving Leeds, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Sheffield Utd are concerned, as 10 of their previous 12 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
