Andy Townsend predicts Leeds United v Bristol City scoreline live on talkSPORT
Andy Townsend believes Leeds United will beat Bristol City when the two sides go head to head on Friday (2 February).
Speaking on talkSPORT on Friday (04:58pm), the pundit said he is sure Daniel Farke will be “delighted” at the end of the night as he looks to take all three points against the Robins.
He predicted the Whites to win 2-1 when they make the long trip down to Ashton Gate to propel themselves into the automatic promotion places in the Championship.
“I’m sure you will see a delighted Farke,” said Townsend. “Without a doubt, I’m sure he will be a very happy man should they get the right result. I think Leeds win that. I’m going 2-1 Leeds.”
Opportunity for Leeds to take promotion initiative
This is a huge opportunity for Leeds to pick up another three points to put pressure on the sides above them in their bid for promotion.
They have been on an excellent run over the past few weeks, but it could be a tricky game as Bristol City look to make ground on the sides fighting for the playoff places.
With the faltering Ipswich Town and the flying Southampton both not in action until Saturday (3 February), a victory could take the Whites into the top two.
That seemed like an unlikely proposition just a few weeks ago when the Tractor Boys appeared to be running away with promotion alongside league leaders Leicester City.
But Farke will know that a victory could hand his side a psychological edge in the promotion race, so he will be looking for a big performance from them on the road.
