Leeds United will host Plymouth Argyle, aiming to continue their winning momentum and extend their unbeaten streak in the Championship.
Under Daniel Farke, Leeds have shown strong form, ranking high in metrics such as expected goals (xG) and shots conceded, making them top contenders for promotion.
Conversely, Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth struggles in the league, sitting at the lower end of most stats.
Yet, with a spirited recent comeback against Preston, they may challenge Leeds with determination.
Leeds’ Promotion Aspirations
This season, Leeds United have consistently shown their potential as one of the best in the Championship.
With a robust defense and a powerful attack, they’re set for a promotion push, boasting some of the league’s top stats.
With a solid defense led by Farke, Leeds holds the lowest expected goals conceded, showing strength in limiting opponents’ chances.
Leeds added Josuha Guilavogui to cover midfield injuries, ensuring depth for the lengthy Championship season.
With promotion insight, Leeds’ focus remains on building resilience and skill across the team.
Plymouth Argyle’s Uphill Challenge
Plymouth’s stats contrast sharply with Leeds’. Led by Rooney, they have the league’s highest expected goals against (xG) and the most shots on target conceded.
Sitting near the bottom of the standings, Plymouth faces a relegation threat.
However, recent displays of resilience, like their comeback against Preston, suggest they won’t go down easily.
Rooney’s past rivalry with Leeds as a Manchester United legend may fuel his approach, but it will be an uphill battle against a dominant Leeds squad.
