Leeds United was 17 points behind Championship leaders Leicester City two months ago. It appeared like a title push was totally out of the question.
Though football is a game where things can change rapidly, the Whites know that a victory over Millwall tomorrow may put them at the top of the league for the first time this year. With the Foxes playing in the FA Cup today, an FA Cup victory of two or more goals over the Lions will ensure Daniel Farke’s top spot before the international break.
With a goal of making it 19 straight home league games without a loss, United takes on Millwall. Their exceptional performance in 2024 suggests further success ahead.
However, former Whites player David Prutton has cautioned his old team against underestimating the Lions. Since Neil Harris took over as manager, the London team has won four games in a row.
Prutton predicted that United will win the match 2-1 in his most recent Sky Sports prediction column. “Leeds United can go top of the Championship table here, which is incredible considering how much they’ve closed the gap on Leicester, who play in the FA Cup this weekend,” the speaker stated. They advance to the summit if they win by two or more goals.
However, Millwall, led by Neil Harris, is a team that is on the rise and has amassed 10 points out of a possible 12. It’s always a competitive match, and I predict it to be close. Leeds, though, ought to have had enough.”
