History of the Leeds United v Bournemouth fixture

Leeds play host to Bournemouth at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the Whites.

The last time the two teams met at Elland Road was well over fifteen years ago, back in November 1989, with Leeds running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a Second Division match.

Recent respective form guides

Leeds United's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Whites have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded 8.

Bournemouth's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. The Cherries have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 10 goals for and 9 against.

Leeds lie just outside the play-off positions in Coca-Cola League One, picking up 50 points from their 34 games so far. Bournemouth are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 26 points from their 35 games thus far.
