MATCH PREVIEW:
Fleetwood Town will face Premier League side, Leeds United in a pre-season friendly on Friday as they look to get back to winning ways.
The Peacocks drew their last match 1-1 against Blackburn Rovers where McBride’s goal was cancelled out by Struijk.
Leeds will be playing their 3rd match on three successive days and we could see a number of changes so as to avoid fatigue issues.
Bielsa’s side will face Betis and Ajax before their Premier League curtain raiser against Manchester United.
After some good football last season, they go into the Premier League as one of the underdogs due to their style of play and excellent performances.
On the other hand, Fleetwood Town won their last match 2-1 against Huddersfield Town with Morris and Garner finding the target.
Both sides last met in the 2016 EFL Cup where Leeds won on penalties 5-4 after a 2-2 draw post 120 minutes.
Line-ups
Fleetwood:
Cairns, Halliday, Andrew, Clarke, Lane, Rossiter, Holgate, Garner, Matete, Morris and Clark.
Leeds United:
Meslier, Firpo, Koch, Llorente, Shackleton, Struijk, Klich, Harrison, Raphinha, Costa and Rodrigo.
Prediction: Fleetwood 1-3 Leeds
Leeds United is expected to win this comfortably due to their recent performances and attacking style of play.
