The Whites suffered a 2-1 defeat against Coventry City and a 0-0 draw at home against Sunderland in their recent league matches. However, facing a Blackburn side that endured a 5-0 thrashing from Bristol City presents an opportunity for Leeds to secure their first win in three games.
Offering his prediction on Sky Sports, Prutton noted Leeds’ recent draw and loss, emphasizing the importance of this match. He predicts a 3-1 victory for Leeds, considering Blackburn’s inconsistent form.
Historically, Leeds have dominated their encounters with Blackburn, winning seven of their last eight league meetings and scoring at least two goals in each of those wins. Blackburn, on the other hand, have lost their last three visits to Elland Road.
Despite their unbeaten run ending against Coventry, Leeds couldn’t bounce back against Sunderland, partly due to questionable refereeing decisions. The Championship is unpredictable, as seen in Blackburn’s heavy defeat at Ashton Gate followed by a resounding 5-1 win at Sunderland in their previous away fixture.
The league’s unpredictability is highlighted, with any team capable of surprising results. Even Daniel Farke, Leeds’ manager, would likely welcome a 1-0 victory considering the competitiveness of the league.
Additionally, Andy Hinchcliffe expressed amazement at a particular moment in the draw with Sunderland.
