Team Analysis
Leeds and Cardiff meet at Elland Road, in a 2nd leg match for the FA Cup (3rd Round Replays). These two teams tied (2‑2) in the 1st leg match. The recent head‑to‑head record favours the away team, since they have a record of 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 matches. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 08‑01‑2023, and ended in a draw by (2‑2). The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Leeds presents significant differences between home and away results.

Leeds
The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with the advantage of the away draw by (2‑2), so all they need is a tie for under 2 goals to stay ahead in the aggregate result. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away loss against Aston Villa by (2‑1). Leeds has won 3, tied 3 and lost 4 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 31 of the last 46 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Cardiff
The away team comes to this 2nd leg match in disadvantage, since despite the 1st leg draw they have conceded 2 goals at home. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Championship, they got a home tie against Wigan Athletic by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Cardiff has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Goaloo Prediction
Leeds United got 3 draws in all past 4 competitions. Cardiff City got 5 draws in all 6 competitions recently. Summing up, I think they will draw the game in a regular time.
