Bet on Stoke vs Leeds

Another Three Points for In-Form Leeds

Stoke are enduring a miserable season, winning just five of 22 Championship matches. The Potters have suffered ten defeats and are only four points above the drop zone in England’s second tier.

In contrast, Leeds are flying high at the top end of the Championship table. Daniel Farke’s troops have won 13 times and have been beaten in just three league games. They sit pretty in second, three points behind Sheffield United.

Stoke are winless in their last eight Championship matches, drawing four and losing four. City have taken just one point from their previous five, losing at Sheffield Wednesday last time out.

Leeds have won six of their last eight in the Championship, hammering Oxford United 4-0 at Elland Road last Saturday. Will the Yorkshire side keep up their fine form with another three points on Boxing Day?

Both meetings last term ended in 1-0 wins for the home sides. Stoke edged past Leeds in October 2023, with a Pascal Struijk own goal sealing the deal. United returned the favour with a 1-0 victory at Elland Road in March thanks to Daniel James’ strike.

There has not been a Championship draw in this fixture since they played out a goalless stalemate at Elland Road in 2006. Since then, both teams have picked up four wins each.
