Blackburn vs Leeds score prediction

The games are coming thick and fast for Leeds as they go to Blackburn this weekend. Will Leeds be tired after their mid week win over Blackpool. Blackburn are doing well with 6 wins out of 9 and a recent win over Arsenal.

 My score prediction - Blackburn Rovers 2 Leeds 1

I hope I am wrong of course. A Leeds victory would be great and see them with a genuine chance of making a top 6 play off place.

Leeds vs Blackpool score prediction.

Another game for Leeds tonight and another tough one.

Predicting a Leeds score these days is virtually impossible.

Tonight's score prediction.

Leeds 1 Blackpool 1

Man City FA Cup result

I didn't get my score prediction right but I was close !

I predicted 3 nil but it was 4 nil !

I could see by the looks on the players faces in the tunnel before the game that Leeds would lose. There was no confidence, whereas the Man City players looked fired up for it.

The Man City team cost nearly £250M and the Leeds team cost £1.30M. It was always going to be a one sided game and so it turned out to be.

The crowd chanted for Warnock to leave. That's very harsh. He is doing his best with the players he has.

Finally, the Man City penalty was one of the weakest I have ever seen. Bad refereeing !!

FA Cup day at Man City

Leeds go to Manchester City today in the FA Cup.

How times have changed !......Leeds should be in the Premier League and Man City should be in the second division !

Today's score prediction.

Man City 3 - Leeds 0

Saturday, 9 February 2013

Another wrong score prediction !

It ended Wolves 2 Leeds 2 this afternoon.

I thought that I was all set to get my 1-2 score prediction right but Wolves equalised in injury time.

Leeds seem to have been the better team but attempts on goal were limited.

I'm still without a correct score prediction, but I'll keep predicting !

Wolves vs Leeds Score Prediction

Another away game for Leeds against Wolves.

Although Wolves lie 2 points above the relegation zone they were one of the favourites to win promotion at the start of the season and it will be a tough game for Leeds to win.

The good news is that Steve Morrison may make his debut and hopefully he will want to impress.

My score prediction. Wolves 1 Leeds 2

Saturday, 2 February 2013

Poor result today

Leeds lost 1 nil to Cardiff today. It's a poor result and leaves Leeds looking doubtful for a top 6 finish, unless the new signing gel very quickly and the team puts together a very good run of results.

Again, my optimistic prediction of the result was wrong and still leaves me looking for my first correct score prediction. This just shows how unpredictable the Leeds team is.

Leeds vs Cardiff City score prediction

A tough game for Leeds today against top of the table Cardiff City.

It's impossible to predict the score today, with Leeds fielding new signings but you can be sure that these new players will want to impress. Elland Road has become a bit of a fortress again so it will be a close game. A draw or Leeds win is my prediction so being the ever optimist I'm going to predict a 3 - 1 win for Leeds today.
