Championship Betting Odds - Leeds United Shorten
After a thrilling 4-3 victory on Monday evening, Leeds have seen their promotion odds shortened
After a seven-goal thriller at the Riverside on Monday evening, Leeds United emerged with three vital points in their quest for an immediate return to the Premier League.
The victory saw the bookmakers shorten Leeds from 10/1 to 6/1 to top the Championship this season, and they also shortened Daniel Farke’s side promotion odds from 4/7 to 2/7.
It’s a three-way battle at the top of the Championship, with Leicester, Leeds, and Ipswich separated by just two points as we head into the season’s closing round of matches, although Leeds have played one match more than their rivals.
| Team | Matches Played | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Leicester City | 43 | 91 |
| Leeds United | 44 | 90 |
| Ipswich Town | 43 | 89 |

The final push for Leeds
Leeds headed to the North East on Monday evening, having picked up one point from their previous three matches, so returning from the Riverside with three points was a vital boost for their promotion prospects.
United have two matches remaining to seal a spot in the top two and grab a vital automatic promotion spot. Next up is a trip to the capital on Friday evening to face a QPR side that is still not safe from relegation.
Leeds won 1-0 at Elland Road in the reverse fixture, but they have lost on their last three visits to Loftus Road, meaning the 4/6 on offer at bet365 for an away victory on Friday looks relatively short.
The final day of the season sees a home match for Leeds as they face Southampton at Elland Road in what could be a huge afternoon for the Yorkshire club and their fans.
However, failing to grab an automatic promotion spot would be a bitter blow, and Leeds would then have to lift themselves for the playoffs - not an easy task at the end of a long season where automatic promotion was the goal.
