When we beat them in the playoffs in 2015, we were a much better side than them

They would admit that too, i think.

This time round, over the course of the season, they've been much better than us. Over the second half, there is very little in it. But I would put them as favourites over two legs given they've amassed so many more points than us, but it's close to a 50:50.

I agree, I don't like any presumption that we'll win. However, as a matter of fact, I would give us a better chance of getting past them than I would Leeds or Southampton over two legs.
