Pundit backs Leeds United to deliver 70/1 stunner at Middlesbrough

David Prutton is backing Leeds United to give their hopes of reaching the Championship play-offs a boost by winning at Middlesbrough on Friday.

Leeds head into the game six points behind sixth-placed Sheffield United and a win at the Riverside would draw them level on points with Boro.

Prutton has tipped Pierre-Michel Lasogga to score first for Leeds on the way to a 2-1 victory (70/1 with Sky Bet).

“That last-minute equaliser conceded at Sunderland last week would have come as a huge blow to Middlesbrough as they desperately search for some consistency in their play-off push,” he told Sky Sports.
