Last season, Leeds failed to secure promotion after finishing third in the regular phase and failing to come out of the playoffs. This season, the Whites are looking like the best team in the league, and as the season progresses, they only look better. Right now, they are at the top spot with 51 points in 24 rounds - two away from the second-placed Sheffield United. To be fair, Sheffield had a two-point deduction, but the impression is that the Whites showed more regardless.

Blackburn had a terrible last season, finishing 19th. Considering they were a team that battled to secure the Playoffs two years before the previous, it is a massive failure. This season, the Rovers are doing better as they are in 5th place with 38 points from 23 matches. Yet, after winning just one point in the last three matches and considering they will face the best team in the league in the upcoming game, we can safely say they are in trouble.

Leeds vs Blackburn pick: Leeds to win and cover the -1 AH spread

Leeds have been really good, winning five out of the last six matches. The only game where they failed to win was against Preston on the road, but have dominated the game completely and deserved all three points. Additionally, at home, Leeds have been incredible, winning nine in a row while covering the -1.5 AH spread on eight occasions!

Meanwhile, Blackburn are in poor form, winning just one point in the last three games. Also, the Rovers are struggling offensively away from home, as they are scoring only 0.91 per game. So, even scoring against Leeds, which had 67% clean sheets at home, would be a challenge.

Simply, Leeds have been in much better form, and considering their fantastic home streak, we expect another comfortable win for the Whites.

After a 1:0 win over Derby, coach Daniel Farke spoke to the media. He was satisfied with a win and said they totally deserved a win in a tough away place. "Perfect team performance, perfect away performance. These nights are the best. Tight win, late goal, a clean sheet, and is perfect for the mood and spirit," the coach added.

Junior Firpo, Ilia Gruev, and Maximilian Wober, who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined with injuries.
