Before Betting On Leeds vs Norwich
We are nowhere nearer finding out the teams that will contest the Championship playoff final at Wembley this season, with both first leg ties on Sunday seeing 0-0 draws played out. Norwich may feel that it was a missed opportunity at Carrow Road, as the Canaries failed to make home advantage count. They appeared light in the final third throughout that match, registering just a single shot on target.
Leeds kept the ball very well in an intimidating atmosphere on Sunday, and they could have easily taken a first leg advantage back to Elland Road. However, a 0-0 draw will favor the visiting side, as they will simply need to land victory in the reverse clash this week to take a step closer to a return to the Premier League.
The Whites will be incredibly positive surrounding their chances, as they won 16 of their 23 home matches during the regular season. However, they were beaten in their final home match of the season against Southampton, which was just one of two defeats that they suffered at Elland Road throughout the campaign.
Norwich will see the odds stacked against them this week, as they struggled on the road throughout the regular season. The Canaries picked up just six victories, and were beaten on eleven occasions. Meanwhile, they conceded 42 goals on their travels, which was 20 more than they allowed at Carrow Road throughout the campaign.
