Leeds United will be hosting Plymouth Argyle at Elland Road this weekend in what could potentially be the most lopsided match-up of the Championship season so far.
Sitting near the bottom of the table with 12 points from 12 games, Plymouth faces a tough challenge against Leeds, who are currently third with 23 points and averaging almost two points per match.
While on paper the biggest gap in the division is between the first and last place teams, the difference in form between Plymouth and Leeds suggests this upcoming game could be the most uneven match of the season.
Leeds has been strong defensively, going seven games unbeaten and securing seven clean sheets, while Plymouth has struggled to find the back of the net and has allowed the most shots and goals in the league.
With Leeds boasting the highest expected goals and shots on target in the Championship, it is likely that Plymouth will have a tough time containing their attacking threat. Despite Leeds’ slightly lower conversion rate, the volume of chances they create could result in a comfortable victory for them this weekend.
Overall, Plymouth’s leaky defense and Leeds’ firepower make this match-up seem heavily in favor of the home side at Elland Road.
