Sunderland vs Leeds Prediction

Sunderland Form

Sunderland have seen it all in their last three matches. Against Manchester City, they came out empty-handed in a 3-0 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 1-0 win against Newcastle. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 0-0 draw against Brighton. Sunderland won three of their previous six matches at Stadium of Light in the Premier League. They drew three as well, but suffered no defeats, scoring ten goals to six against.

Sunderland were spoken of as contenders for a title, but current form has them running a little behind in the Premier League.

Leeds Form

In their last three matches, Leeds drew 3-3 with Liverpool, 1-1 with Brentford and beat Crystal Palace by 4-1. Leeds managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 13 time and letting in seven.

Leeds entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

Going forward, Sunderland and Leeds are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net this coming Sunday.

Sunderland took 18 points from their last eight encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to six wins after scoring 12 times and conceding six. Leeds fought their way to one wins and four points from their last five games against teams inside the top six. They were on target nine times in these matches, but also let in 14 goals.
