EFL Championship
Date: Sunday, 19th November 2017
Kick off at 13:15 UK/14:15 CET
Venue: Elland Road.

Leeds is on the decline recently and hosts gradually improving Boro side.

Last Game:

Leeds continued their slump of form. Another defeat this time against Brentford. The team looks clueless on what is wrong currently. Brentford opened the score and even missed a penalty later on. Alioski managed to bring Leeds back to level terms but the final saying was on the home side. 2 goals in the later stages and Brentford won the 3 points.

Middlesbrough took a hard fought 3 points. They were at home against bottom table Sunderland but the team had to fight for the victory. Tavernier scored early and from there on the team was happy to limit the opposition space and chances. The final whistle came at that result and the points went to Boro.

Form and Tactical Analysis

Leeds

Leeds had an outstanding start of the season bet the team is falling apart in recent weeks. 1 victory in the last 7 games and 6 defeats drove the team from top of the table all the way down to 10th place. United currently looks to have some psychological problem as there is not much change in the players but there’s something in the dressing room which prevents players from performing.

The 4-2-3-1 is the preferred formation for the team relying on Lassoga up front for goals. Saiz was driven to the wing in the recent games instead of his usual behind the striker position.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough looks to be the only team that got relegated from the Premier League and still has a decent chance for promotion. They are 5th in the table. The team looks confident currently. They are on a 3 game winning streak and will be looking to continue it. They are unbeaten in 6 games on the road currently winning the last 2. They have some troubles at home which need to be addressed otherwise the team is a real contender for promotion.

Gary Monk keeps his team in a 4-4-2 formation. Britt Assombalonga is the main outlet up front on which the team relies for goals. He is usually partnered by Braithwaite.
