In my opinion Leeds is clear favorite of today's match up and they should be able to make comfortable win with at least 2 goals margin.

First match between both teams finished with 2:2, but that was extremely undeserved result. Leeds played much better in that game - had 74% ball possession, 21 shots more (!!!) and 4.29 expected goals scored. Today they going to play at Elland Road front of loud crowd and I expect another high quality performance.

Before first game against Cardiff, Leeds manager Jesse Marsch spoke about motivation to make deep run in FA Cup so I'm sure today he will use very strong line up. Leeds offensive formation at the moment is in very good form - in last 3 consecutive matches they had expected goals scored number above 1.63. Leeds super striker Bamford came from the bench against Aston Villa and scored a goal. Probably he will start in first squad today, that should be big addition to already strong offensive line.

Cardiff is just above relegation zone in Championship so I'm not sure about their motivation, FA Cup is not the highest priority. At the weekend they recorded 1:1 at home against Wigan, but that wasn't good performance, especially at the back (2.08 expected goals conceded). What is even more alarming - coach Mark Hudson left the club! On those circumstances is hard to expect good performance from guests.

I can't imagine any other result than easy win for Leeds!

在我看来，利兹联队在今天的比赛中是最受欢迎的，他们应该能够以至少2球的优势轻松取胜。

两队的第一场比赛以2:2结束，但这是极不公平的结果。利兹联在那场比赛中表现得更好——有74%的控球率，多出了21次射门(!!)和4.29个预期进球。今天他们将在埃兰路的观众面前表演，我期待着另一场高质量的表演。

在对阵卡迪夫的第一场比赛之前，利兹联的主教练杰西·马什谈到了在足总杯中继续前进的动力，所以我相信今天他会使用非常强大的阵容。利兹联的进攻阵型目前处于非常好的状态——在过去连续3场比赛中，他们的进球数都超过了1.63。利兹超级前锋班福德在对阵阿斯顿维拉的比赛中替补出场并打进一球。也许他今天会在一线队首发，这对已经强大的进攻线来说应该是一个很大的补充。

卡迪夫在英冠联赛中处于降级区之上，所以我不确定他们的动机，足总杯不是最优先考虑的。上周末他们在主场与维冈的比赛中以1:1的比分领先，但表现并不好，尤其是在后防线上(预期失球2.08个)。更令人担忧的是，教练马克·哈德森离开了俱乐部!在这种情况下，很难期望客人有好的表现。

我无法想象利兹联队会轻松获胜!
