The 29th round of the English Premier League will offer a very interesting duel between Leeds United and Norwich. Both teams are fighting for salvation this year, Leeds are doing better so far, they are in 16th place, Norwich occupy the last position.
Both teams are very low in the table and have a lot of work to do to stay in the league. Although Leeds are in 16th place, which guarantees staying in the league, their form in the last few games does not suggest that they should keep it.
Leeds have lost six league games in a row. They are two places above the relegation zone and two points clear. However, the problem is that its two closest pursuers have games in hand, so it could be that Leeds drop into the red zone after the play-offs.
Norwich have similar form from their last six games. They have drawn one game but lost the other five in a row. They have only gained 17 points and are deservedly in last place. They now need five points to save themselves.
Both teams are poor defensively. Leeds have received 64 goals in the league and Norwich 61. On goals scored, Leeds wins a little bit, having scored 29 goals, while their current opponent only 17. Moreover, Norwich does not score often away, having scored only seven times on the opponent’s field this season.
However, the last match, which was played at Leeds’ home stadium, went better for Norwich. The visitors won 3: 1, but the match was played in 2019. Norwich has never won two games in a row against Leeds in its history.
Both teams have been in poor form lately and this match could kick-start one of the teams to better form. We expect the home side to be more successful and score. The visitors will be closer to relegation again.
