On Saturday at 17:15, Derby County receives Leeds United‘s visit to the Championship semi-final of Championship, the second English league. Marcelo Bielsa’s team comes complete with Pride Park, while Frank Lampard does not have a number of major players such as Davies, Forsyth, Bryson, Cole or Andy King.
Already secure in the play-off, Leeds United missed direct promotion due to an unfortunate series on the final of the season. With three failures and a draw in the last four stages, Bielsa’s team missed the main goal and now has to eliminate a well-organized band with a lot of technical ability in the offensive comparison. Leeds lost matches with Wigan (1-2), Brentford (0-2) and Ipswich (2-3), drawing with Villa (1-1).
On the other side, Derby County finished in a positive season regular season, and in the last five stages defeated West Brom (3-1), Bristol City (2-0) and QPR (2-0), draw with Swansea (1-1) and Birmingham (2-2). Black and White managed a very difficult program, suffering a single failure in the last 11 stages. On the other hand, Derby has a real complex in front of Leeds, which he defeated only once in the last five direct duels. In this championship, Leeds won both matches with Derby, 4-1 in away and 2-0 in their own.
Kemar Roofe scored for Leeds United in both parties mentioned above, and Bielsa’s striker will again be the most important attacker of the guests. Roof has 14 staggered goals this season, with one less than Derby’s scorer Harry Wilson. The midfielder raised by Liverpool had a brilliant season in which he excellently “guided” the construction of his team. Leeds starts with the first chance at the bookmakers, and Derby will have to play perfectly to avoid winning a goal on his own.
