Leeds United were quite satisfied with a 0-0 draw against Burnley, who are also fighting for promotion. Now, they are aiming for a win when they face Cardiff City at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke's team is on an impressive 12-match unbeaten streak. In their last game, Burnley didn't even manage to get a shot on target against them.
Leeds is still leading the table, mostly due to their strong performance in home games, where they have earned 38 points from 15 matches.
Cardiff, on the other hand, has been showing improvement lately. They recently won against Sheffield United in the FA Cup and climbed to the 18th position after defeating Derby County 2-1.
Team news
Leeds have been missing Pascal Struijk and Patrick Bamford due to hamstring injuries. Farke might make some changes, with Mateo Joseph, Wilfried Gnonto, and Largie Ramazani pushing for a spot in the starting lineup.
Cardiff's Aaron Ramsey is still out with a muscle injury. Callum O'Dowda and David Turnbull are also sidelined. Manager Omer Riza is likely to stick with the same squad from their last victory against Derby.
The stats
Leeds has been dominant at home, winning 11 of their last 12 games. They have scored first in their last 13 matches at Elland Road and kept clean sheets in their last four games.
Cardiff is on an eight-game unbeaten run, with both teams scoring in seven of their last eight games.
Prediction
Leeds, with the strongest home record in the Championship, are expected to defeat Cardiff comfortably. The last time they met, Leeds won 2-0. Cardiff has improved recently but is unlikely to challenge Leeds, who are on track for automatic promotion.
