    Leeds to Edge Past Cardiff in an FA Cup Replay at Elland Road
    17/01/23 2629

    After the chaotic game in the FA Cup a few weeks back between Leeds United and Cardiff City in South Wales, the two will meet once more at Elland Road as the Whites head into the game after another Premier League defeat.

    Although he is not the favourite to face the sack in the Premier League above managers like Frank Lampard, Jesse Marsch could well be the next manager to be let go in the English top flight if he fails to win here.

    The American has only secured two wins in his past 15 games as manager in all competitions and even registered a draw against Cardiff last time out.

    In the first FA Cup meeting between these two at the Cardiff City Stadium, the Bluebirds led 2-0 inside the first 31 minutes of the game but fell apart in the second half.

    Leeds equalised through Rodrigo Moreno and saw Sonny Perkins force a replay in the 93rd minute of the game after a tap in from close range.

    Jaden Philogene and Sheyi Ojo scored for Cardiff in the first half, but Joel Bagan was sent off in the second half, which helped the Whites to a draw.

    Leeds ended up having 26 shots in the game but just five on target and 74% of the ball in a game that was dominated by the Premier League side at times.

    Back in the Premier League, however, Marsch's men have extended their winless run after a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. The club have now lost to Manchester City at Elland Road, drawn with Newcastle United and West Ham United and lost to Villa since action resumed in England after the World Cup.

    It has pulled Leeds closer to the relegation zone than ever before in the Premier League with just a two-point gap on West Ham in 18th, as the Yorkshire side have now won just four games in the league - only Everton have lost more.

    As for Cardiff, they drew 1-1 with Wigan Athletic in their last outing in the league and Mark Hudson's side have also extended their winless run in the league to seven games.

    It leaves the Welsh club above Huddersfield Town in the bottom three by just three points, but worse yet, the Terriers have a game in hand and can move above Cardiff by winning that game.

    Forebet predicts a win here for Leeds and for the game to see over 2.5 goals.
