Key Prediction Insights

Leeds are the likeliest winners at 39%, with Sunderland at 34% and a draw at 27%. The goals outlook leans over 2.5, at 54%.

Match Analysis

Sunderland’s home advantage gives them a meaningful route into the match, but Leeds rate better in attack and have been more consistent in their results. Leeds have scored 9 goals and conceded 6 in seven league games, while Sunderland have scored 6 and conceded 14. At home, Sunderland have created chances worth 1.5 expected goals per game but scored only 0.3, a gap that points to room for improvement in finishing. Sunderland arrive after three straight defeats: most recently 0-2 away to Bournemouth, following a 0-2 home loss to Brighton and a 3-5 defeat away to Man City. Leeds have drawn two of their last three, including the latest 1-1 with Man United and an earlier 0-0 with Crystal Palace, with a 1-2 loss to Arsenal between them. Leeds’ away scoring average is 1.0 goal per game, so Sunderland’s run of clean-sheet-free matches leaves little margin for error.

Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction

Over 2.5 goals is a slight lean at 54%. Sunderland’s defensive record is the strongest reason for that outlook, and the scoring environment also points towards goals, although Leeds’ attack and defence pull the other way.

Corners Prediction

Corners Probability Distribution

Distribution
Probability of each corner count outcome
Cumulative Probability (CDF)

The expected total is 9.9 corners. Sunderland’s recent matches included 12 corners against Brighton and 11 against Man City, supporting a projection around double figures.

Shots Prediction

Shots Probability Distribution

Distribution

The expected total is 25 shots. Leeds’ last three matches each had 24 or 25 shots, while Sunderland’s latest game against Bournemouth produced 32.

Goal Spread Prediction

Positive = Sunderland wins by X goals. Negative = Leeds wins by X goals.

Distribution

Cumulative Probability (CDF)

The expected margin is about 0.2 goals in Leeds’ favour. That slight away lean reflects the balance between Sunderland’s home advantage and Leeds’ stronger attacking and results profile.

Final Prediction

Sunderland’s best chance of changing the outlook is to turn their home chance creation into goals. Their 1.5 expected goals at home against a 0.3-goal scoring average shows the opportunity, but they will need to finish more sharply than in recent weeks.
