Bitesize Prediction: Sunderland vs Leeds – 12/12/23

Competition: Championship

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 4/7 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be an action-packed affair from the Stadium of Light on Tuesday night, Sunderland will welcome Leeds to the north east.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make what was a crucial return to winning ways over the weekend, Sunderland will now be hoping to find some welcomed stability. Eventually claiming an eye-catching 2-1 victory against West Brom, the result drew a line under their three-match winless run. However, with their sights set on securing another play-off ticket this season, the Black Cats should be excited by their continued success on home soil. Heading into November’s international break with a 3-1 romp against Birmingham, Sunderland have won three of their previous four showdowns at the Stadium of Light. With that hometown flurry highlighted by another 3-1 win against Norwich back on October 28th, the midweek hosts will be desperate to spring an upset here. However, with just a single clean sheet to their name since the start of October, the Black Cats have gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. It should be noted, Sunderland have seen four of their previous five contests finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Leeds might have lost their Premier League status last season, the Whites have only continued to shine since opening up the 2023/24 campaign. With their sights firmly set on clinching an immediate top-flight return, Daniel Farke’s men should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Already holding a commanding 11-point buffer from slipping out of the play-off places, the former Norwich boss will be calling on his squad to make another Championship statement here. Mustering 19 points from their last seven second-tier appearances, the Yorkshire-based outfit have also impressed with their free-scoring performances in the final third. Opening up December with an action-packed 3-2 victory against Middlesbrough, Farke’s men have bagged eight strikes in just their previous three showdowns. In what could prove to be another enjoyable affair on Tuesday night, we are expecting chances to come thick and fast.
