20:00 Thursday
Both sides will vie for a spot in the playoff finals during the second leg of this playoff semi-final clash.
After the first leg ended in a stalemate with a 0-0 draw, the action now shifts to Elland Road, where Leeds will enjoy home advantage in their promotion bid.
Leeds vs Norwich Prediction
Leeds looked relatively unchallenged by a tame Norwich attack in the first leg of this play-off semi-final clash, but Daniel Farke's tactical experimentation didn't pay dividends in the other half of the pitch.
Elland Road was a fortress for the first 21 league games of the 2023/24 campaign and the Whites went unbeaten there during this period, but home defeats against Blackburn and Southampton to round off the campaign will be a cause for concern heading into this fixture.
Norwich found the target with just one of their shots at Carrow Road on Sunday, but David Wagner will be largely content to take the game to Elland Road with the scoreline level.
The Canaries continue to miss the talismanic Ashley Barnes, so the impetus will be on the likes of Gabriel Sara and Jonathan Rowe to win this game with a moment of magic. For the visitors, keeping the scoreline as low as possible will be the key to advancing to Wembley.
Score prediction: Leeds 0-0 Norwich (12/1 at VBet)

Leeds vs Norwich Betting Tips
The first leg was a cagey affair that provided nothing in the way of entertainment for the neutral but Leeds will be happy with how things played out. They now face Norwich at what will be a packed-out Elland Road. Daniel Farke’s side won 16 of their 23 home matches in the league this season and conceded an average of just 0.7 goals per game in the process.
Norwich have lost on their last two visits to this ground. They managed just one shot when these sides met at Elland Road in January. The Canaries’ away form has been poor in this campaign. They have won just six of their 23 matches on the road.
