Simon Jordan and Martin O’Neil have made their Play-Off predictions following Leeds United’s 4-0 victory over Norwich City on Thursday (16 May).
The Whites will find out who they will face at Wembley Stadium on Friday night (17 May), when Southampton host West Bromwich Albion.
Jim White, speaking on talkSPORT (17 May), asked Jordan and O’Neil for their promotion predictions before of the St Mary’s meeting.
Jordan added, “I don’t believe they will. I believe Southampton will win against West Brom, and then they will defeat Leeds in the final.
When challenged by White, O’Neil added: “I tend to agree with Simon in terms of Southampton, but for the final, Leeds United have some wonderful attacking players. “I couldn’t call it.”
Leeds United are Wembley-ready.
The Whites are preparing for their first trip to Wembley Stadium in 16 years following a comfortable win over Norwich at Elland Road.
Goals from Ilia Gruev, Joel Piroe, Georginio Rutter, and Crysencio Summerville helped Daniel Farke’s side easily defeat the Canaries.
They will now await the outcome of Southampton’s match against West Brom, knowing that their opponents at Wembley will win the game.
Despite some recent poor form, they have bounced back with a fantastic win, which could be a good sign.
Farke will be delighted to see his best players, Rutter and Summerville, back in the goals after a dry spell in May.
Wilfried Gnonto assisted Piroe’s goal with a world-class pass, in yet another encouraging indication ahead of the Wembley match.
Leeds fans can be confident in their team’s chances in the capital, even if Jordan and O’Neil are less optimistic.
