Leeds vs Millwall predictions: Championship leaders should ease to cup success
&w=707&quality=100)
- Leeds thrashed Cardiff 7-0 in their most recent match at Elland Road
- Millwall have won their last three Championship fixtures under Alex Neil
- Recommended bet: Leeds to win 2-0
Promotion to the Premier League is the priority for Leeds this season but they have a good opportunity to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
After beating League Two strugglers Harrogate 1-0 in round three, Daniel Farke's men have been drawn at home to fellow Championship side Millwall this weekend.
The Lions have won their last three league games, all by a one-goal margin, but they face a daunting trip to Leeds, who are five points clear at the top of the table.
Team news
The Leeds squad is in good shape with striker Patrick Bamford (hamstring) likely to be their only absentee.
Millwall are missing Liverpool loanee Callum Scanlon (hamstring) while Ryan Leonard, Danny McNamara, Femi Azeez, Aidomo Emakhu and Josh Coburn are also expected to be sidelined.
The stats
&w=707&quality=100)
Leeds have kept clean sheets in their last eight wins in all competitions.
Daniel Farke's men have conceded only four goals in their last 16 home matches.
Leeds winger Manor Solomon scored in the third, first and 13th minutes of his last three games at Elland Road.
Two of Millwall's last three Championship results were 1-0 wins,
Only two of the Lions' last 24 matches have produced over 3.5 goals.
Millwall have kept five clean sheets in their last 10 away games.
Prediction
Leeds maintained their Championship promotion charge with a 2-0 midweek victory at in-form Coventry and that scoreline is an appealing bet this weekend.
The second-division leaders routed Cardiff 7-0 in their last game at Elland Road but manager Farke is likely to shuffle his pack for the FA Cup tie against Millwall.
Leeds have the strength in depth to record a fifth straight home win to nil against a Lions side who are short of attacking quality.
Neil's men have won 1-0 at Luton and Portsmouth in their last two away games in the Championship and they followed up with a 2-1 home victory over Queens Park Rangers.
However, the Hoops had 13 shots to their hosts' seven and Leeds, who had eight shots on target in Wednesday's win at Coventry, should progress inside 90 minutes.
Farke brought exciting forwards Largie Ramazani, Wilfried Gnonto and Mateo Joseph off the bench against the Sky Blues after striker Joel Piroe and marauding right-back Jayden Bogle had scored in the first half an hour.
Leeds have looked a cut above most Championship sides this season and their only recent setback was a 0-0 draw at miserly title rivals Burnley.
Millwall beat Leeds 1-0 at home in November but they have won only three of their 14 away matches in the league this season, scoring just 12 goals.
They are unlikely to roll over at Elland Road after racking up a hat-trick of low-scoring wins but their Championship matches average just 1.9 goals per game so the 2-0 Leeds victory looks a likely outcome.
