The Jeff Stelling game between Middlesbrough and Leeds United on April 22 at will be “massive” for the home team, according to Jeff Stelling.
Leeds would return to the automatic promotion spots with a victory. At the moment, Leeds is sitting third in the league, two points behind Ipswich and four behind Leicester.
Daniel Farke’s team may benefit from this, as it gives them an advantage against Ipswich, who play again on April 27, despite having played one more game.
“It’s a massive game for Leeds United against a Boro side who are undefeated in nine, so they’re in good form themselves,” Stelling said in a live talkSPORT broadcast on April 22 at 07:00.
A “massive” match awaits Leeds United in the Championship promotion battle.
Getting all three points from a Middlesbrough team that is playing well and has a remote chance of making the playoffs would be a significant accomplishment for Leeds, who have three Championship games remaining.
Leeds now have the chance to get ahead of their rivals and gain a psychological edge. Ipswich was originally scheduled to play Coventry this weekend, but the FA Cup semifinal caused the game to be rescheduled.
Leeds will be determined to stay in the automatic promotion spot and avoid the uncertainty that comes with making it to the playoffs, even if it is only temporary based on other outcomes.
Southampton was also expected to challenge Leeds and Ipswich for second position behind Leicester, but they were shocked to lose to Cardiff City, dropping them three points behind Farke’s team with a far worse goal differential and a steep hill to climb.
In other Leeds United news, the team is hoping to sign a star player from West Ham.
