The final game of 12 taking place on Friday from the Championship sees the league leaders Leeds United head away from home and take on Watford. By the time Leeds play this game, they could be in 3rd, if Leicester and Ipswich get points to jump above them, and that could put a little more pressure on Leeds when they take to the field here.
Watford Form GuideWatford have faded down the table to be a side in the middle with nothing to really play for, and to be honest, you can see that with their form recently, they do look like a team that is winding down. With eight games to go they are in 13th position, with nothing to aim for above and little to worry about below.
They've won just one of their last five games, and that came right before the international break as they won 1-0 away from home against Birmingham, a team who are really struggling right now. Before that, Coventry, Millwall and Huddersfield all beat Watford.
Leeds Form GuideStill unbeaten in the league in 2024, it's been a great push from Leeds, just at a time when they needed it as others around them have been making their own moves. Top of the league, but only on goal difference, and Leicester have a game in hand on them, there's plenty more work to be done, but this Leeds side appear well drilled and it will take a very good team to finish above them.
They've won their last three games in a row, the most recent of those was a 2-0 home win over Millwall before the international break. Other wins have been 2-0 away at Sheffield Wednesday and 1-0 at home to Stoke, so alongside winning all three, they've also recorded three clean sheets.
Match PredictionI have to side with Leeds here. They're in form, back to try and win the league, and begin here against a team with nothing to play for, who are coasting towards the end of the season, so it's an away win for me.
