MATCHUP AND PREDICTION

| 11 ✓ | Sweeper | 10 |
| 35 ✓ | Defenders | 26 |
| 23 ✓ | Midfielders | 20 |

🏦 Neutral venue
⚔️ KEY BATTLE: The forward line is the decisive battleground — Leeds United's attack (74) significantly overpowers Swansea City's (58), giving Leeds a clear edge in the final third.
⭐ ONES TO WATCH: Dario Vasilj (FW, TL:18) — SWA | Cesare Nesta (FW, TL:16) — LEE
🎯 VERDICT: This neutral venue clash ends level at 3-3 in what should be an open, high-tempo contest. Leeds United's superior forward line (74 vs 58) creates the more dangerous threat, but Swansea's defence (35 vs 26) holds firm enough to stay in the game throughout. Dario Vasilj is the player to watch for Swansea, with his top-level forward rating of 18 capable of punishing Leeds on the counter at any moment.
Match Notes
With ten youth to select from, Abe has a lot of options here.

Leeds need to show up today. Swansea won't give them an inch on neutral ground. Big test, this one.
