Leeds travel to Derby in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final clash
Leeds begin their Championship play-off adventure with a trip to face Derby at Pride Park this weekend.
Marcelo Bielsa’s team lost three of their last four games of the season to fall out of the automatic promotion race and into the play-offs.
Leeds entered the Championship and League One play-offs three times in four campaigns after their last spell in the Premier League ended in 2004.
They failed to get promoted in any of those seasons and have lingered in the second tier for nine years.
Derby reached the play-offs three times in their last five seasons but also failed to gain promotion via any of them.
Both sides will be desperate for a return to the Premier League but who will gain the early advantage?

Leeds well and truly ran out of steam at the end of the season.
In contrast, Derby gathered plenty of momentum and will believe they have enough to go all the way this year.
Bielsa must calm Leeds’ inevitable anxieties going into the game and not let Derby race into an early lead or the tie could be wrapped up before reaching Elland Road.
Prediction: Derby 2-1 Leeds
