Leeds United will entertain Millwall at Elland Road in the EFL Championship on Wednesday. Leeds are at the top of the standings with 76 points, though second-placed Sheffield United also have 76 points to their name. The visitors are in 12th place in the league table, winning 12 games, suffering 12 losses and securing 12 draws in 36 games.

The Lions returned to winning ways after two losses last week, with a 2-1 away triumph over Watford. They conceded in the 30th minute and second-half goals from Casper De Norre and Josh Coburn helped them register a comeback win.

Leeds United vs Millwall Prediction
The Whites have lost just two of their last 20 games across all competitions, with one of the defeats registered at home against Millwall in the FA Cup last month. They have failed to score in their two meetings against the Lions this season and will look to improve upon that record. Nonetheless, they have won eight of their last nine Championship home games in this fixture and are strong favorites.
Patrick Bamford is back in training but is unlikely to be risked here. Max Wöber and Ethan Ampadu are also sidelined with injuries. Wilfried Gnonto is likely to be handed a start here.
The Lions are unbeaten in their last three Championship away games, recording two consecutive wins. While they have won just two of their last 10 away meetings against Leeds, they have scored at least two goals in four of their last five away games in this fixture.
Liam Roberts faces a lengthy ban while Zak Lovelace, Dan McNamara, Macaulay Langstaff, and Shaun Hutchinson are injured.
The Whites have a strong home record in this fixture and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
