Friday’s exciting football schedule concludes with Leeds making a lengthy trip south to take on Watford.
The season has been eventful for Watford, marked by yet another coaching change. Tom Cleverley, stepping in as the interim manager at 34, steered The Hornets to a hard-fought 1-0 win over Birmingham in his debut.
Throughout the season, Watford has been hovering in the mid-table zone, staying clear of both play-off contention and relegation threats.
A notable issue has been their slow start in matches, having only led at halftime in three games – against the lower-ranked teams Rotherham, QPR, and Birmingham.

Leeds, in contrast, has displayed an impressive run, securing wins in 13 of their last 14 matches and remaining undefeated in league play in 2024.
Managed by Daniel Farke, Leeds boasts some of the league’s top attacking talents including Wilfried Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville, Joel Piroe, Daniel James, and Georginio Rutter.
Yet, it’s their defense that has really shone recently, with the Welsh duo Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu at center-back conceding just three goals in 2024.
Leeds has managed to lead at halftime in half of their matches, leveraging their strong offense to gain early leads and their solid defense to maintain them.
Against a Watford team that tends to start slow, Leeds is likely to establish an early advantage and have the capability to secure a win.
