Leeds United will look to end a run of two games without a win in the Championship when they host Millwall on Wednesday.
Daniel Farke’s side looked all but set to return to the Premier League at the second time of asking just a couple of short weeks ago.
However, after a 1-1 draw with West Brom at Elland Road on Saturday 1 March followed by a shock 1-0 defeat against Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Sunday (9 March), the Whites are now just two points above third-placed Burnley.
Therefore, it is vital that Leeds get back to winning ways against Millwall at Elland Road on 12 March, and the West Yorkshire’s side’s chances of victory have been rated.

Leeds favourites to beat Millwall
Leeds have not been themselves over the past couple of matches, with Farke sharing a “crazy’ admission after defeat against Portsmouth.

However, the Whites have a good chance to get back on track at home by claiming three points against a Millwall side 28 points below them in the Championship.

Leeds are miles ahead of Millwall in the Championship
While Farke might need to make some changes against the Lions, the Elland Road faithful should still be confident of victory despite their team’s recent dip in form.
And it appears as though the Opta supercomputer is still confident of a home win.
Leeds have a 66.9 per cent chance of victory, while Millwall’s hopes of picking up three points at Elland Road stand at just 15 per cent, while the chances of a draw are rated 18.1 per cent.

Leeds need to beat Millwall
There is no hiding from the fact that this is a must-win game for Leeds.
If the home side don’t claim maximum points, they could slip out of the automatic promotion places, and their sudden dip in form would extend to something of a mini crisis, which could affect morale among the Leeds players.
However, there is no need for panic just yet, and as long as the fans get behind the players, Leeds should beat Millwall on Wednesday night.
