Sunderland vs Leeds Tips, Bet Builder & Latest Odds
Sunderland can wrap up an extraordinary 2024 at the Stadium of Light when they host Leeds on Sunday afternoon.
Still unbeaten this term on home soil, the Black Cats will want to keep that going as the halfway point of the campaign comes into view. However, as we have seen, Leeds won’t be ready to roll out the red carpet.
To whet your appetite, we’ve shared football tips and some of the best free bet offers knocking about.
Sunderland vs Leeds Tips
Here are our selection of betting tips to weigh up before kick-off.
Tip 1: Sunderland to Win & BTTS
Sunderland have taken the Premier League by storm, and they are in the mix for a European berth, sitting in sixth in the table.
The remit before the start of the season for rookie top-flight boss Regis Le Bris was to keep his side afloat, but the sky is the limit as they’ve already accrued 27 points from their 17 games.
Leeds boss Daniel Farke, meanwhile, was among the favourites to be the first manager to head for the exit door. However, a recent change in formation has yielded some spectacular results, including a 3-1 win over Chelsea and a 4-1 hammering over Crystal Palace.
As mentioned, Sunderland are unbeaten at home this term, and while Manchester City will be the first visiting side in the New Year, the Black Cats will want to finish 2024 with a bang.
While Leeds have improved, and have climbed out of the relegation zone, I expect Sunderland to win and the BTTS line to be fulfilled.
Tip 2: Sunderland to win 2-1, 3-1 or 4-1 (Correct Score Combo)
It’s worth noting that this will be the first Premier League meeting between these two sides in over 20 years.
Cast your mind back to the 2002/03 campaign, and intriguingly, Sunderland won at Elland Road and Leeds triumphed at the Stadium of Light.
The past two Championship meetings were frenetic affairs, and there were a total of seven goals scored.
While Leeds look revitalised with Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the form of his life, I think Sunderland should have too much for them. The Correct Score Combo of 2-1, 3-1, or 4-1 isn’t overly ambitious, and there is a fair price advertised too.
Tip 3: Over 3.5 goals, Sunderland to win & BTTS, Granit Xhaka to Score or Assist
Encounters involving Sunderland and Leeds are rarely drab affairs, and the Over 3.5 goals line was hit in the last meeting at the Stadium of Light, so we’re leaning towards this for the first leg of the bet builder.
While Leeds hold a slight advantage in the overall head-to-head, Sunderland have been mesmerising at times, and the home side to win and BTTS market to be met is worth checking out.
Meanwhile, Granit Xhaka has been instrumental to date, contributing five goal involvements (one goal and four assists). He usually steps up in big moments, and the Swiss midfielder to score or assist is worth tapping into.
