The Black Cats remain unbeaten on home turf in the league, having scored at least twice in four of those five wins. However, Sunderland have only managed two clean sheets in their last nine games, suggesting that both teams are likely to find the net on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">There\u2019s little to separate these sides in their recent head-to-head encounters, and neither team has scored more than two goals in this fixture since Leeds did so back in 1996. The last two meetings between Sunderland and Leeds have both seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Leeds are unbeaten in their last four league matches, but their away form remains a concern. Since returning to the Premier League, Leeds have won just one of their eight away games, losing six of those. Both teams have scored and over 2.5 goals have been recorded in seven of Leeds\u2019 last nine matches.<\/p>\n<p>Sunderland vs Leeds United Predictions<\/p>\n<ul class=\"UnorderedList_unordered-list__gzblI\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"unordered-list\">\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Leeds to win and both teams to score &#8211; 9\/2 (<a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/bfpartners.click\/o\/1uTLBh?site_id=104964\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"BetfredLink opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Betfred<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Over 2.5 goals &#8211; 5\/4 (<a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/bfpartners.click\/o\/1uTLBh?site_id=104964\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"BetfredLink opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Betfred<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li class=\"sc-700e1ff3-0 VljCu\">Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime &#8211; 5\/2 (<a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/bfpartners.click\/o\/1uTLBh?site_id=104964\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"BetfredLink opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Betfred<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">18+ | Gamble responsibly | <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"http:\/\/begambleaware.org\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"[object Object] Link opens in a new tab.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">gambleaware.org <\/a>| Odds subject to change<\/p>\n<p>Premier League Betting Offers<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">If you are on the lookout for the latest free bet offers, then look no further.
