⭐ Leeds v Sunderland Best Bets

Leeds have kept 20 clean seems so far this season from 32 matches, which is a strike rate of 63%. That strike rate increases to 69% when just looking at their home games, with 11 clean sheets in 16 games, of which they won all 11 games.

Sunderland have failed to score in 5 of their 15 away games, including on their visits to the other sides in the top 3 Burnley and Sheffield United, although they did fail to score 3 penalties in those games. 

We think Leeds will win the game and the stats show that they’ll probably keep a clean sheet to go with it.

👕 Leeds v Sunderland Predicted XI

🔍 Sunderland v Leeds Players to Watch

⚪ Dan James

Leeds have scored 15 goals across their last 5 league games, and Dan James has contributed to 8 of them. Attacking midfielder Chair has 5 assists to his name this season, 4 of which have come in his last 8 league starts, with 4 goals and 4 assists.

He has 16 goals or assists across the course of the season, numbers only bettered by Joel Piroe, however, Dan James has the best-combined xG and xA per 90, with 0.76.

Expect lightning burst down the right-hand side and low crosses looking for teammates, and plenty of pot shots, but with James averaging 3.5 shots per 90 and 1.4 shots on target

🔴 Jobe Bellingham

We put this bet up with the same rationale in Sunderland’s last away game at Middlesbrough and it duly landed..

Jobe Bellingham has been shown 8 yellow cards and 1 red card this season. 8 of those 9 cards have come away from home, in just 14 appearances, meaning he has been shown a card in 57% of his away appearances. 

The bookies rate his chances of being shown a card at a 22% chance (7/2), which is wrong. He operates usually as a left central midfielder, which will likely pit him against right winger Dan James, who we have already pinpointed as a major threat.
