Dom Matteo has provided his prediction as two of his former sides Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United meet today.
The Whites will be looking to make it three wins in a row when they make the trip to Ewood Park having beaten both Swansea City and Middlesbrough in their last two matches.
Daniel Farke’s side have been a little patchy on the road so far this season but will be hoping their attack is firing on all cylinders against a Blackburn side who like to push men forward.
Matteo gave his prediction in his match preview for LUTV and expects Leeds to have the confidence from recent results to go to Blackburn and return with the three points.
He said: “No game is easy, especially in the Championship away from home. They lost their last game so will want to put that right. We won our last game so will have the confidence, so I am going to go for a 2-1 Leeds win.”
Leeds need to keep pressure on Ipswich
Matteo has gone for the same scoreline as Sky Sports pundit and former Leeds midfielder David Prutton, who has also predicted a 2-1 win for the away side.
This could be a highly entertaining affair with Blackburn having scored 32 and conceded 31 goals already this season. Their attacking intent could play into Leeds’ hands.
Leeds are the best counter-attacking team in the division according to Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca and the space Blackburn leave could well allow the attacking players to flourish.
Leeds actually play before both of the top two today and so an early win would ensure the pressure is on both Leicester and Ipswich Town, who face Plymouth Argyle and Middlesbrough respectively.
Only six teams have a worse home record than Blackburn in the Championship this season and so hopefully Leeds can take advantage of that.
