Ahead of Wednesday’s vital EFL Championship clash, we have the Leeds vs Millwall preview, prediction, latest team news and predicted lineups. 

Leeds Vs Millwall Preview 3p535o

Leeds can regain top spot in the EFL Championship if they avoid defeat at Elland Road. The Whites’ title aspirations were given a mini boost thanks to Sheffield United and Burnley’s midweek draws.

Daniel Farke’s side go into the clash off the back of a surprise 1-0 loss to Portsmouth on Sunday. The setback at Fratton Park was the Yorkshireman’s first in 17 league outings.

A much-needed victory will see Leeds go two points clear of the Blades with nine games left to go. More importantly, they can create daylight between themselves and the Clarets who currently occupy third.

In the reverse fixture at the Den, Japhet Tanganga scored the only goal of the game. Farke’s men will be aiming to avoid the same outcome in front of a ionate home crowd tonight.

At LS11, this season, the Whites have won 13 of their 15 fixtures and netted 40 goals. That in itself should give ers confidence going into the match.

Millwall can climb as high as 10th if they were to secure their second victory of the campaign at Elland Road. The first came in the FA Cup 4th round clash in February.

The Lions clinched a fine 2-0 win thanks to a brace from Femi Azeez. Since then, the Lions have won just twice across seven outings in all competitions.

On Saturday, the South Londoners came from behind to beat Watford 2-1 at Vicarage Road. Mattie Pollock gave the Hornets the lead before Casper De Norre and Josh Coburn struck.

Manager Alex Neil still has a very realistic chance of lifting his side into the playoffs come the end of the season. However, an unlikely win in Yorkshire is a must to keep up with the chasing pack.

Ahead of the match, the best football betting sites in the UK price Leeds as the 5/19 favourites. Millwall can be backed at 14/1 with the draw 19/4.

Leeds Vs Millwall Team News 104x32

Boss Daniel Farke explained that he expects to have ‘more or less’ the same Leeds squad that travelled to the South Coast on the weekend.

Therefore, that won’t include the trio of Ethan Ampadu, Patrick Bamford and Maximilian Wober. They will all miss out through injury.

Meanwhile, Millwall will once again be without Liam Roberts. The goalkeeper is halfway through his six-game suspension for his horror tackle on Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Ryan Leonard, Calum Scanlon, Camiel Neghli and Macaulay Langstaff will all miss out for the Lions. The same applies to Duncan Watmore and Zak Lovelace who are also injured.

Leeds Vs Millwall Prediction 4a2v2b

Leeds’ Premier League aspirations will take a step closer to becoming reality if they get the job done at Elland Road. Especially after Burnley and Sheffield United drew on Tuesday.

However, the Whites are without a win in their last two and have already lost twice to Millwall this season without scoring.

Therefore, we are going to sit on the fence and predict a low-scoring draw in a nervy affair.

Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Millwall
