Leeds United’s home performances have been a bright spot this season, contrasting sharply with their struggles on the road. Under manager Daniel Farke, the team has endured 10 away defeats in 32 league matches, with eight of those losses coming by a single goal. This persistent away form weakness has raised concerns about the team’s promotion prospects.
Despite playing the same number of home and away games, Leeds have accumulated significantly more points at Elland Road. Former Leeds defender Dominic Matteo highlighted the team’s impressive home record, noting just one defeat at home this season as “incredible” given the Championship’s competitiveness.
Matteo suggests that Farke needs to make a tactical adjustment to improve the team’s away performances. He praised the team’s home strategy of starting quickly, playing with high tempo, and leveraging the passionate home support. The pundit believes a slight defensive refinement could transform their away results.
The potential return of Ethan Ampadu to the lineup could be crucial. Farke has emphasized Ampadu’s importance, and statistics suggest the team performs notably better with him in the side. Ampadu’s potential return offers hope for addressing the team’s away form challenges.
Looking ahead, Matteo stressed the importance of consistency both home and away this month to keep Leeds in contention for promotion. The upcoming match against Derby County represents an opportunity to continue their strong home form and potentially address their away performance issues.
Maintaining their formidable home record while finding a solution to their persistent away game struggles. The team’s promotion hopes may well depend on resolving these road performance challenges.
