Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman is firm in his belief that Leeds United will clinch automatic promotion this season, despite their recent rocky form.

Following a lackluster run since the international break in March, Leeds has only managed one win out of five games, suffering defeats to Coventry City and Blackburn Rovers. The loss to Blackburn marked their first home defeat of the season. However, Goodman remains optimistic, noting that Leeds is just one point behind the automatic promotion pace with three games left.

Goodman points out that Leeds’ recent performances are out of character considering their strong season overall. He trusts that the team will bounce back from their slump and do enough to secure promotion by the end of the season on May 4.

With an impressive attacking lineup that includes Crysencio Summerville, Dan James, and Patrick Bamford, coupled with a solid defense led by Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu, Goodman sees Leeds as the favorites to clinch promotion.

Despite a challenging final stretch, including matches against Middlesbrough, QPR, and Southampton, Goodman remains confident that Leeds will finish in the top two, expressing sympathy for the team that finishes in third place.

As the season nears its climax, the race for promotion promises to be intense, but Goodman is unwavering in his prediction that Leeds United will be celebrating a return to the Premier League.
