Leeds United vs Sunderland Prediction 09.04.2024

• Competition: Championship
• Date: 09.04.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Elland Road (Leeds)

Five rounds before the end of the Championship Leeds Utd is very close to direct promotion to the Premier League. However, they still have a deficit compared to Leicester and Ipswich, who have two and one point advantage respectively. In the case of placement in the Playoffs, Leeds will have a lot of problems to find a way back to the Premier League because there will be Southampton, WBA, Norwich, etc. Because of this, Leeds are expected to give their maximum in order to reach one of the first two positions and the automatic big prize.

According to everything seen so far, Sunderland is at an average level, and this is also shown by their position in the table. This team is in 13th place in the table with 52 points and a few months ago they were much closer to the top but they won only once in the previous 10 matches. In their last away game, they beat Cardiff after 7 matches without a win away from home. Sunderland has 15 points less than Norwich, which is in the Playoff zone, so it is clear that this goal is unattainable for them.

Leeds vs Sunderland pick: LEEDS TO WIN AND COVER AH -1.5

Leeds Utd won 9 of the last 10 home matches and they have not been defeated at home this season, which is a fact worth paying attention to. This is a team with Premier League credibility and it is expected that at least on the home field until the end of the season they can be convincing. In 4 of the last 5 matches at home, they won by 2 goals or more. Sunderland is not such a good guest, so we expect Leeds to achieve a strong and impressive victory
