Recent form

Leeds United

Leeds United are currently in impressive form, sitting atop the Championship table with 53 points from 26 games. The Whites are unbeaten in their last nine matches, a streak that includes four wins and two draws in their most recent six outings. Leeds have been particularly formidable defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six games and conceding just 0.67 goals per game during this period. Their attacking prowess has also been noteworthy, with an average of 2 goals scored per game, including a 4-0 thrashing of Oxford United. The team's resilience is evident in their ability to secure results, as demonstrated by the 3-3 draw against Hull City. With 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Leeds have shown they can grind out results when necessary, exemplified by their 1-0 FA Cup victory over Harrogate Town.

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, three draws, and one loss in their last six matches. The Owls have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 4-2 victory over Derby County and the thrilling 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored an impressive 13 goals in these six games, averaging 2.17 goals per match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals in the same period. Sheffield Wednesday's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with both teams scoring in 83% of these games and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of them. Despite their 10th place position in the Championship, the Owls' recent form suggests they are a team capable of producing exciting football, though they will be keen to tighten up at the back, having gone five games without a clean sheet.
