In the previous game, they played 2-2 on the road in FA Cup against Cardiff. Guests had 73% ball possession and 26 shots on the goal but still didn't secure progress to the next phase.

The game on Friday night should be high-scoring, especially because of Leeds. In every game, Jesse Marsch's team shows how leaky their defense is. On the other hand, Leeds are scoring goals regularly, so we should expect at least three goals in the upcoming tie.
