When Leeds United visits Swansea City, they’ll be hoping to continue their winning ways. With six wins out of six, Daniel Farke’s team has had an ideal start to 2024 in the league.
The Whites have scored an astounding 13 goals, averaging more than two per game, and have only let up one.
The distance to the second position Even though Southampton has played one more game than Russell Martin’s club, the difference is still just one point.
However, a loss to Bristol City might allow the Yorkshire team to move into a desired automatic promotion spot if they defeat Swansea City away from home. David Prutton, who was impressed by Swansea’s surprise victory over Hull City the previous weekend, is curious as to whether they can replicate the feat this evening.
With a 2-1 victory, he thinks Leeds will be too strong for the Welsh team and carry on their winning streak. According to Prutton, Swansea’s victory against Hull City came almost completely out of the blue on Saturday.
They weren’t even close to being in form, but it only goes to demonstrate the unpredictable nature of this league.
“Can they play Leeds the same way they did?
“It’s a big ask, because right now Daniel Farke’s side is crushing everyone.”
“I can’t back against United right now, but it might be close down in South Wales.”
After last weekend’s triumph over the Tigers, Luke Williams’ team had suffered three straight losses.
The Swans, who gained that much-needed victory and are now seven points clear of the relegation zone, have had a challenging season.
Since taking over the first team squad at the beginning of January, this was the new manager’s first league victory in charge.
This evening, he will be looking to win back-to-back games, but Leeds will be a formidable opponent.
With the club presently ranked third in the standings, the Whites are set for a heated fight for automatic promotion in the closing months of the season.
Ipswich Town has fallen behind Leeds and Southampton in the race for the top two spots; both teams are playing really well.
Any mistake they make now might have disastrous repercussions for their attempt to return to the Premier League.
This evening at 7:45 p.m., the gathering in Swansea will begin. Since the beginning of the year, Leeds has been quite strong, winning games handily in recent weeks.
Swansea will need to perform at their highest level to win this one since their victory over Preston North End was the only game this year that really tested them or even caused them to concede a goal.
The Swans team’s win over Hull will boost their confidence in their ability to compete, since their performance before last weekend was concerning.
Farke’s team will be looking to maintain their lead in this close fight for the top two spots as they enter tonight’s matchup as the clear favorites.
