Stoke City vs Leeds Predictions

• Leeds are the Championship’s top scorers
• Stoke have conceded twice in their last five games
• The Potters have conceded twice in seven of their eight meetings with the top nine

Leeds can prey on Stoke’s struggles

The Boxing Day Championship action wraps up with Leeds’ visit to Stoke, where the promotion hopefuls can capitalise on a rough run for the Potters.

Stoke head into this clash winless in five, suffering four defeats in that run and conceding twice in all five games. That stretch has left them in the bottom six, just four points clear of the drop zone.

Stoke’s struggles have seen them fail to beat any top-half side, while they’ve lost seven of their eight encounters with the top nine. The Potters have conceded twice in all seven of those defeats, so they need to be wary against second-placed Leeds.

While the visitors have a patchy away record, they’ve won three of their last four Championship games. Daniel Farke’s side are the league’s top scorers and they’re well-priced to score a couple of goals at struggling Stoke.

Leeds concede just shy of a goal per game on their travels, while Stoke have lost 2-1 in two of their previous four. Back the visitors to add to Stoke’s poor form, with Leeds winning four of their five meetings with the bottom six.
