Leeds United - Sunderland predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Leeds United winning is by far the most likely outcome.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Sunderland will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Leeds are coming on the back of a routine victory at Watford in the previous round. They were the hard favourites and secured a lead fairly early, ultimately winning the proceedings 0:4.

Sunderland had a lot going for them as they entered their previous Championship bout, with both home-field advantage and considerably shorter odds to win than their opponents. As such, the 2:0 HT/FT victory wasn’t much of a surprise, but it will be interesting to see if their form keeps up while playing away.

The Whites have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Sunderland have netted 7 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

The Whites have had the chance to play against Sunderland several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Championship. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites The Peacocks are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
