Leeds United v Sunderland Odds and Match Preview

Kick-off: 8pm UK Time, Monday 17th February 2025

Leeds United have dropped down to second in the Championship table but they enjoy a game-in-hand over leaders Sheffield United and will look to haul themselves back above the Blades with a win over promotion rivals Sunderland at Elland Road this evening.

The battle for the Championship title is very much a four-horse race with eight points separating leaders Sheffield United from fourth-placed Sunderland, who themselves are eleven points clear of fifth-placed Blackburn Rovers. Leeds United sit in second position in the league standings with just a single point separating them from the table-topping Blades who have played one game more. The Elland Road outfit will be faced with a tough assignment by visitors Sunderland tonight but with just three defeats thus far whilst in league action, we envisage the home side getting the better of their opponents here.

The Black Cats are battling hard for a return to the Premier League after their lengthy absence from the top-flight, however they are seven points adrift of the top two as things stand. Victory here would put the Wearside outfit right back in the frame in the fight for an automatic promotion berth but while they enjoyed a relatively easy win over Luton Town last time out, tonight’s opponents will be a completely different kettle of fish.

Betting Odds and Predictions:

Match Winner:
- Leeds United: 8/15
- Draw: 14/5
- Sunderland: 9/2
Correct Score Prediction:
- A 2-1 victory for the home side seems to us to be the most likely outcome here, the visiting Black Cats general adept at finding a way through but Leeds United solid on home soil this term.
First Goalscorer:
- Joel Piroe (Leeds United): 17/4
- Daniel James (Leeds United): 23/4
- Mateo Joseph (Leeds United): 6/1 Joel Piroe, being Leeds’ top scorer, is a strong contender to open the scoring.
Anytime Goalscorer:
- Joel Piroe (Leeds United): 6/4
- Daniel James (Leeds United): 2/1
- Wilson Isidor (Sunderland): 7/2 Piroe’s consistent goal-scoring form makes him a favorable bet to find the net during the match.

Leeds have been enjoying some excellent form in recent months and it’s hard to see them slipping up tonight, especially on home soil. Sunderland will doubtless put up a good fight but all things considered, we’ll be siding with a home win here with both sides adding to the scoreline.
