Leeds United vs Wigan Athletic
Leeds United will host Wigan Athletic in the 43rd week of the English League Championship. Leeds United need to continue their series of victories to lock in second place.
Leeds United won their last 2 matches against Preston North End and Sheffield Wednesday. These two victories managed to bring Leeds United back to second place and are now 3 points ahead of Sheffield United in third place. With 4 weeks remaining, Leeds United’s chances of returning to the Premier League are getting bigger.
Not only is the promotion opportunity even greater, Leeds United are even now likely to win the English League Championship this season. The negative performance displayed by Norwich in the last few games makes the distance between the two now only 4 points apart. Leeds United’s target is now clearly not only finishing in the top two but also winning the ELC this season.
Facing Wigan Athletic this weekend Leeds United were quite likely to continue their winning trend. In addition to benefiting because it will play at home, Wigan’s performance itself is also not so good lately. Wigan were winless in their last 4 games with 3 draws and 1 defeat.
However, Leeds United need to be careful. Because, Wigan is also in need of additional points to stay away from the relegation zone. Wigan, who is currently ranked 21st with 42 points, are only 2 points adrift of Rotherham United in the relegation zone. That way they will try their best to be able to reach points at Leeds headquarters later.
