Command Analysis

Leeds United

Current form
Before the start of the season, Leeds were considered one of the main contenders for promotion along with Burnley and Sheffield United - in terms of player selection, Daniel Farke team is definitely the strongest in the championship. So far, the Whites have justified this status and are in second place in the table with 56 points, two points behind the leader Sheffield United, but the Blades have already played their match in the 28th round. In the last round, Leeds beat Sheffield Wednesday with a score of 3:0, thus achieving their 16th victory of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bamford is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leeds are unbeaten in their last 10 matches, winning seven and drawing three.
- Leeds are unbeaten in their last seven games against Norwich, winning five and drawing two.
Probable lineup: Meslier - Biram, Rodon, Ampadu, Bogle - Rothwell, Tanaka, Solomon, Aaronson, James - Piru.

Norwich City

Current form
Before the start of the season, Norwich were among the contenders for a playoff spot – the selection of players did not allow them to seriously count on a direct ticket to the Premier League, but Johannes Thorup team was quite capable of getting into the top six. So far, the Canaries have not coped with their task and occupy only 12th place in the table with 36 points, but at the same time they are six points behind sixth-placed Blackburn, having a game in hand – such a handicap is not significant. Having lost 0:2 to Sheffield United in the last round, Norwich broke a series of four matches without defeat in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sainz is disqualified. Forsyth, Gibbs and Slimane are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Norwich have suffered just one defeat in their last five matches
- Norwich have failed to score in their last two matches
Probable lineup: Gunn - Stacey, Duffy, Doyle, Krisine - Fisher, MacLean, Mracondes - Hernandez, Krnak, Dobbin.

1.45Tip and bets
Leeds have a great chance to return to the top spot today – they need to take three points to do so. The task is quite feasible for the Whites – Norwich have recently gained some good form, but the hosts have a solid advantage in class, and they are also in great form. It is unlikely that Norwich, with all their merits in the last month, have a real chance to take points from such a Leeds, it makes sense to count on a confident victory for the favorite.
We think that the visitors have no chance. The betting tip is Asian handicap (-1) on Leeds. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on total
Leeds will certainly be set up for victory today and will probably attack with great force from the first minutes. The Whites score regularly and it is unlikely that Norwich defense has a chance to play reliably against such an opponent. At the same time, the Canaries also desperately need points, the fight for a ticket to the playoffs is in full swing, the visitors will probably take risks, there are fast, high-quality players ahead, the visitors are quite capable of responding with one goal.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.07
Bet on corners
Leeds are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-4) on corners for Leeds. This bet is offered at 1.95
