Today Leeds United welcomes Cardiff City in the opening round of the Championship. The Peacocks finished in the previous season as the 19th-placed team in the Premier League. This result sent them to the second-best league in England. The Bluebirds on the other hand barely escaped dropping in League One, since they were the 21st-placed team in the Championship.
Hence, there is no doubt that Leeds has only one objective today – victory!
Leeds United FC
The Peacocks played four friendly duels in July. First, they faced Manchester United and lost the game by 2:0. Then, Leeds played against Monaco, and once again, lost the match by 0:2. But in the following two games Leeds managed to beat Nottingham Forest by 0:2 and Hearts by 0:1.
So today they will absolutely set an attacking formation and go for the victory at Elland Road.
Cardiff City FC
The Bluebirds played eight friendly games this summer. They managed to win against Penybont (2:0), TNS (3:1), and Bristol Rovers (1:0). Also, Cardiff played draws against Cambridge Utd (1:1), Bristol Rovers (1:1), Wycombe (0:0), and lost the duels against Braga (1:0) and FC Porto (4:0).
However, today Cardiff will set a quality tactical approach and try their best to win points in Leeds.
