Leeds risk falling apart in another promotion race | OneFootball

Leeds United head into the final six games of the Championship season with history in danger of repeating itself.

The Whites blew a golden opportunity to win promotion to the Premier League last season but were on course to set the record straight this term.

However, a run of one win in their last six games has dropped Leeds outside the automatic promotion places behind Burnley and Sheffield United.

Leeds must avoid another slip-up

A frustrating 1-1 draw at Luton Town last weekend sparked talk that Leeds are on course to fall apart in another promotion race.

They can ill-afford any more slip-ups over the final few weeks, starting with tonight’s tricky encounter against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

Their other five fixtures on the run-in look relatively favourable, which could give them an edge over their promotion rivals.

Burnley and Sheffield United are also scheduled to meet on Easter Monday – a factor which should also work in Leeds’ favour.

Securing a positive result this evening could be the catalyst for Leeds to finish the season strongly and banish the memories of their collapse last term.
