Football analyst David Prutton has made his forecast for Leeds United’s upcoming match against Coventry City. The Whites are gearing up for a crucial game in their bid for automatic promotion, traveling to face Coventry, who are also in a precarious position as they strive for a playoff berth.

Coventry currently trails sixth-placed Norwich City by four points with a game in hand, but suffered a defeat to Cardiff City in their recent home match. Meanwhile, Leeds secured a victory against Hull City, though they cannot afford any slip-ups as they aim to control their destiny in the remaining matches of the season. Consequently, Saturday’s encounter with Coventry poses a challenging prediction, despite Leeds being favored to win.

In his Championship predictions column for Sky Sports, Prutton commented, “Leeds are riding a wave of momentum. Although they didn’t display their best form against Hull, their quality prevailed. They possess players who can turn the game around. Given their squad depth, Leeds should continue their current trajectory.”

“They have players of Premier League caliber who perhaps underperformed when they were in the top flight. It promises to be an intriguing match. My prediction is a 2-1 victory for Leeds.”

The previous encounter between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road earlier in the season.
