difficult to stop Tim Sherwood makes a prediction about the second-place winner: Southampton or Leeds.
Tim Sherwood believes Leeds United might sneak into second place in the Championship, having jumped Southampton into second place on Tuesday. The team is strongly positioned to earn automatic promotion.
Leeds won seven straight League games, including six clean sheets during that stretch, with a 4-0 victory over Swansea City. However, learning that Southampton had fallen short against Bristol City 3-1 on Tuesday enhanced the experience even more.
The Saints’ amazing streak of 25 straight victories has come to an end ahead of their difficult away trip to West Brom today. Leeds could benefit from Carlos Corberan’s ability to deny Russell Martin’s Saints any points.
Speaking about the Championship promotion race, Sherwood says Leicester has easily won. He made this claim while appearing on the No Tippy Tappy Football show. Leeds is 12 points behind the Foxes.
Though he was speaking prior to Ipswich’s thrilling 4-0 victory over Millwall on the road on Wednesday, he believes the team has declined. However, Sherwood thinks Leeds will surpass Southampton to take second place.
Four clubs stand out, with the remaining teams being mediocre, according to Sherwood. “Automatic locations in Ipswich have decreased.” Leeds has the home field and the support of their supporters when they gain traction.
They will be difficult to stop if they have the backing they need. Leicester are nowhere to be seen. Can Southampton manage to hold on? Right now, I think Leeds should win merely because they have a 12th player.
