Leeds and Southampton initially looked favourites for the promotion play-offs, which the teams proved by progressing to the final. At the end of the regular season, the Peacocks were above the Saints in the standings, but only by a margin of 3 points, and Southampton won both of their head-to-head meetings.
The fight for the last trip to the Premier League promises to be very persistent, but still Southampton looks preferable.
Prediction: Southampton to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 2” bet, odds 2.13
