Sunderland vs Leeds Match Prediction
Sunderland continue to impress despite several key absences due to AFCON, backing that up with a disciplined goalless draw away at Brighton in their most recent outing.
The Black Cats remain firmly in the European hunt and will look to capitalise on their strong home form, having yet to be beaten on their own turf this season.
Leeds arrive with renewed confidence after a four-game unbeaten run, but their struggles away from home remain a major concern.
Daniel Farke’s side have collected just four points from eight away matches, a record that leaves them vulnerable against a well-organised host.
With home advantage and greater consistency, Sunderland look well placed to edge this contest.
