TERRIFYING NEWS emerging from Leeds United next opponent that might be of HUGE advantage to Leeds lag off against Burnley… Might be an easy 3pts addition to Daniel Farke side.
The mood among Leeds fans is less than optimistic this week after suffering their first defeat of the season, with the performance against Burnley raising several concerns.
How Daniel Farke tackles Leeds’ long-standing struggle against teams that sit deep at Elland Road will be an interesting challenge. His next task is a tough trip to Cardiff City.
Leeds face a Cardiff City side with manager Erol Bulut on the brink
Cardiff currently sit at the bottom of the table after five games, with only one point and a single goal to their name. Bulut’s Bluebirds were Leeds’ first opponents upon their return to the Championship and were considered outside playoff contenders last season before finishing 12th. Now, they find themselves staring at a potential relegation battle unless they can turn things around.
Erol Bulut expected to lead Cardiff against Leeds despite “miserable” results
According to WalesOnline, Bulut is expected to stay in charge for now, despite their “miserable defeat” to Derby. He is leading training this week as Cardiff prepares for Leeds’ visit to South Wales. However, the pressure is mounting, and the challenge of reversing their fortunes doesn’t get any easier with a promotion favorite like Leeds next on the schedule.
Leeds could deliver the final blow to Bulut’s tenure
Facing a manager on the verge of being sacked presents both opportunities and challenges for Leeds. Cardiff are in decline after a promising first season under Bulut, and a Leeds win could further their misery, something many Cardiff fans may be expecting.
However, with nothing to lose and facing a side Cardiff are expected to struggle against, Bulut’s team could be dangerous despite their lack of quality at both ends of the pitch.
