Leeds United meet Southampton at Wembley in the Championship play-off final and we've predicted how we see the game going
Predicting anything in the Championship is a fools game, we all know that. Each week there's always a coupon buster to catch you out, a surprise result that shouldn't really be a surprise, and a team who look like they have no hope, beating one of the top dogs in the league.
Adam Armstrong was involved in 34 goals, Crysencio Summerville got in on 28. Ethan Ampadu, Summerville and Georginio Rutter were in the Team of the Season. Kyle Walker-Peters was in for Southampton. These are two teams that are so well-matched in so many areas of the field. The solidity of that Whites defence really stands out to me as the edge they might find.
In the other direction, Summerville vs Walker-Peters promises to be a mouth-watering clash. If the former can ask enough questions in attack and then dig deep to stay with the right-back when he counters down that flank, it will be huge for helping Junior Firpo. Joel Piroe and Rutter have to match the levels they showed in the semi-final to really cut their opponents apart.Score prediction: Leeds 2 Southampton 1.
I know Southampton have already beaten Leeds twice this season but Leeds have got the firepower to hurt them on the biggest stage. Time and time again Wilfried Gnonto, Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville have proven they are matchwinners at this level. The trio are capable of creating havoc in the final third and providing Joel Piroe with the ammunition to fire them back into the Premier League at the first attempt.
