Leeds – Cardiff : Preview & Prediction
Like their Leicester counterparts, Leeds are turning back the clock in England with a return to the Championship after a few complicated years in English soccer’s top flight. Favourites to win on the opening day, the team coached by Daniel Farke will have to overcome Cardiff City, a team accustomed to this division for several seasons. It’s no easy task, especially at the start of the season, when surprises at the end of normal time often occur in August. To avoid a disappointing result this Sunday afternoon, the Peacocks can look back on 2 convincing warm-up games against Hearts and Nottingham, where success was the end result at every final whistle. At an Elland Road probably at full strength, Meslier and his partners are obliged to come away with the 3 points at the end of the 90 minutes!
It’s a complicated game for the Welsh. After an unsuccessful summer preparation and 270 consecutive minutes without scoring a goal, Erol Bulut’s men will be hoping to upset the odds at the end of normal time. It’s not going to be easy, however, as the Bluebirds have not been playing properly, which takes away any optimism before the start of the duel. If they don’t, there’s bound to be disappointment at the end of the day on Sunday.
