Leeds United vs Sheffield Wednesday
Leeds Utd tried to forget the failure in the FA Cup welcomed the clash against Sheffield Wednesday. They were met in the 27th week of the Championship Division which was held on Saturday (11/1) at Elland Road.
Leeds Utd is indeed unlucky to have to face Arsenal in the third round. They went there on Tuesday (7/1) just to give up on Reiss Nelson’s single goal (55 ‘). In fact, they are able to compensate for the host’s game with 6 shots on target versus 5.
Back in the league competition, Leeds Utd was asked to maintain focus. The reason is, they only won 1 time in the last 5 matches, namely when against Birmingham City (4-5), the rest drew with Cardiff City (3-3), Preston North End (1-1), and WBA (1-1) , and lost to Fulham (2-1).
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday managed to continue their journey in the FA Cup after overcoming the Brighton & Hove Albion challenge. This time Adam Reach’s lone goal (65 ‘) is enough to make the host fall in front of his own supporters, as well as stop the crisis in league competition since losing to Stoke City (3-2), Cardiff City (1-2), and Hull City (1-2).
In other words, the momentum will try to be transmitted to the match tomorrow. The Owls do have to move quickly after plunging in 8th place with a collection of 39 numbers, four points higher than the top 3 ranking and only two points ahead of sequence 12. Likewise with Leeds Utd who currently topped with 52 points, only superior just the number of goals from the WBA below it.
Late last October the WBA managed to impose a 0-0 position at the headquarters of Sheffield Wednesday, while last season the Whites managed to win 1-0 at Elland Road. They will need the same results so as not to be coup from the bud, as well as a cure for failure in the FA Cup.
