Leeds are currently in the second automatic promotion spot in the Championship, but their destiny is not in their own hands. Leicester City, just one point behind, have a game in hand. Bookmakers favor Leicester to win their upcoming match against Birmingham City, while also predicting a victory for Leeds against Coventry City. The outcome of these matches could determine the fate of Leeds' promotion hopes.
Leeds are heading into the weekend sat in the Championship ’s second automatic promotion spot but with their top-two destiny out of their own hands by virtue of being just one point ahead of third-placed Leicester City who have played one game less. The Foxes take on Birmingham City at the King Power this weekend in a Saturday afternoon 3pm kick-off and the bookmakers strongly fancy Enzo Maresca’s side to take all three points.
Leicester are long odds-on favourites for the contest, as short as 2-7 and no bigger than 3-1. Birmingham can be backed at 17-2 and even the draw is nearly a 5-1 chance at 23-5. However, the bookmakers also think Leeds will bag yet another victory from their Saturday afternoon clash at Coventry City and a win that they believe has a strong chance of leaving United’s autos destiny back in their hand
