Leeds United’s recent struggles have cast doubt on their chances of securing automatic promotion from the Championship. Following a demoralizing 4-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers, Daniel Farke’s side missed the opportunity to extend their lead over Ipswich Town, who now have a real shot at claiming the second spot in the standings if they perform well against Coventry City.
Just a few weeks ago, Leeds was riding high at the top of the Championship, courtesy of an impressive 15-game unbeaten run that saw them close the gap on leaders Leicester City by a remarkable 17 points. However, the international break in March seemed to disrupt their momentum, and they have been unable to regain their form since returning to action.
The pressure of the promotion race has taken its toll on all the contenders, but Leeds’ drop-off has been particularly concerning. A closer look at the six-game form table spells trouble for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, as they currently find themselves in 17th place with just 7 points from their last six matches.
Leeds United fans are undoubtedly feeling anxious about their team’s recent performances, as the dream of Premier League football next season appears to be slipping further out of reach. With only a handful of games left in the season, Marcelo Bielsa and his squad face an uphill battle to turn their fortunes around and secure their spot in the top flight.
