Leeds and Southampton will meet to determine who gets into the EPL. Both teams have had a good season, and have been through tough opponents in the play-off semi-finals. It’s hard to name a favourite in their clash.
Leeds had every chance of a direct exit to the Premier League. The club was at the top of the table in the Championship. But in recent months, they began to make many mistakes. They recently lost points in matches with Coventry City (1:2), Sunderland (0:0), Blackburn (0:1), QPR (0:4), and Southampton (1:2).
After that, Leeds finished in third place in the main draw of the Championship, six points behind second-placed Ipswich. First, the Whites had problems with Norwich (0:0) in the playoffs. But in the return meeting, the team confidently defeated Norwich—4:0.
Southampton performed similarly to Leeds in the play-off semi-finals. Their first game against West Bromwich ended in a scoreless draw. In the return match, the Saints had already won 3-1 and reached the final.
In recent months, Southampton has also often lost points. The team lost to Cardiff (1:2), Leicester (0:5), and Stoke City (0:1), finishing fourth. The Saints’ gap from the pursuers was still decent—12 points.
