Head to head: Leeds United vs. Southampton FC
This Saturday's match will be the 110th meeting between these two teams, the balance is as follows: 48 wins for Leeds United against 29 for Southampton, in addition to 22 draws.
Leeds have not lost at home to the Saints since March 2012, 12 years without away success at Elland Road.
Southampton, judge of a promotion candidate
Russell Martin's Saints can no longer improve the fourth position in the championship, they know that, but they can choose what is best for them for the playoffs, apparently for them it is just another game, it can be taken as a match to measure forces with another candidate for promotion, like Leeds, Soton did not do things well in the last days, so closing the regular season with a victory is not something despicable.
Leeds aiming for last day's achievement
Leeds United must win their home game, and wait, maybe hope for a miracle as big as Wembley Stadium, or go straight to the playoffs to win it, Daniel Farke's team was complicated the issue of promotion in the last days, the defeats against Blackburn and QPR left them hanging by a thread, therefore, today they must hope that Ipswich loses against a relegated Huddersfield, to have a remote option to fight for promotion.
Farke announced that he has not lost his motivation, and that his team will go all out, although he says he does not mind fighting in the playoffs.
The Championship is on fire
When the fixture of the season was released, it was always thought that this would be one of the most striking matches in the whole campaign, the Whites and Saints fighting for everything on the last day was a more than striking scenario, and now it seems not to be so, Southampton is not fighting for anything on the last day, they are in fourth place and will not go beyond that, while Leeds in third place has a very remote option to be promoted, so this will be the most irrelevant match of the season.
The match is played at Elland Road
Elland Road is the home of Leeds United of the EFL Championship, is a building located in the city of Leeds, United Kingdom. It was inaugurated in 1897 and has a capacity of 37890 spectators.
This is a venue owned by the club, this could be the last home game for Leeds in the season, and the clamor of all the white turkeys, is to achieve the unthinkable and get promoted to the Premier League this Saturday.
