Leeds United vs Cardiff City Prediction and Betting Tips | February 1st 2025

Leeds United will host Cardiff City at Elland Road on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have enjoyed a brilliant season and are well on track for a return to the Premier League as they sit atop the Championship table with 60 points from 29 matches.

They played out a goalless draw against fellow title contenders Burnley in their game on Monday, with both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances in an overall cagey affair at Turf Moor.

Cardiff City are also playing well and are looking to pull further clear of the drop zone. They locked horns with newly-promoted Derby County in their last match and picked up a 2-1 win, with Callum Robinson and substitute Anwar El Ghazi netting a quickfire second-half double to send the Bluebirds on their way to victory in front of their home fans.

The visitors now sit 18th in the league standings with 31 points from 29 matches and will be looking to put out a statement performance against the league leaders this weekend.
