Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n10\/11 @ Bet365<\/a>
(52.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing both teams to score because Leeds average 1.32 goals per game but have conceded 47 in 28 matches, while Sunderland have kept just 8 clean sheets and tend to find the net (29 goals) despite not being prolific. Four of the last six meetings also saw both teams score.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Leeds to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n20\/21 @ Unibet<\/a>
(51.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere’s value backing Leeds to win given their stronger attacking stats: 37 goals vs Sunderland’s 29, and the highest xG in this match-up (41.4 vs 29.6). Sunderland have just one win in their last seven meetings with Leeds, and Elland Road could be decisive.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
