Leeds vs Sunderland Predictions

• Leeds have won 12 of their last 13 home league games.
• Four of the Whites’ last six league matches at Elland Road have featured at least three goals.
• Sunderland have scored at least twice in each of their last four league games

Leeds remain on the march

After losing in last season’s Championship playoff final to Southampton, Leeds are determined to leave nothing to chance this season and will be hoping to continue their rich run of form at Elland Road when Sunderland head to town on Monday.

It should be easy to put a line through last week’s FA Cup defeat to Millwall – the competition will have held little value to the Yorkshire outfit as they aim to get back into the big time – and they have dropped just two points in their last 13 home second-tier clashes.

Daniel Farke’s team have kept six straight clean sheets in the league, including their 7-0 home success over Cardiff last time out and a 4-0 win at Watford on Tuesday, but they may not have things as easy against the Black Cats.

Black Cats can make their mark

The Wearsiders have their own promotion ambitions and will welcome this opportunity to narrow the seven-point gap between themselves and the leaders.

A 3-2 victory at Middlesbrough in their last away game will have given them a big boost and they have scored nine goals in their lst four matches, so while it is a big ask for them to claim a victory at Elland Road, it is worth backing them to score with a 2-1 win for the Whites of potential interest to correct-score betting enthusiasts.
