Sunderland welcome Leeds United to the Stadium of Light on Sunday, with the hosts desperate to halt a worrying run of Premier League defeats.
Sunderland sit bottom of the Premier League standings with just four points from seven matches, while Leeds are seventh with 10 points.
Daniel Farke's side have shown greater defensive resilience this season, although Sunderland's underlying chance creation suggests they could still pose a threat.
Sunderland v Leeds United Tips Summary
Best Bet - Leeds draw no bet @ 4/5
Alternative Bet - Under 2.5 goals @ 4/6
Bet Builder - Leeds United to win, Under 4 goals and Jayden Bogle to have 1+ shots on target @ 10/1
Sunderland v Leeds United Prediction
Best Bet: Leeds draw no bet @ 4/5
Leeds have made the more consistent start, collecting 10 points from seven Premier League matches compared with Sunderland's four. The hosts have lost four consecutive league games, conceding 11 goals across that run, although they have played the top three in that time.
Leeds have also shown greater defensive resilience, losing only one of their opening seven games and that was a 2-1 reverse at champions Arsenal in a game in which they took the lead.
Daniel Farke's men also performed well at high-flying Brighton and although they have perhaps not consistently threatened goals on the road, Sunderland are not in the same class, and the Leeds draw no bet looks an appealing option.
Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 4/6
Sunderland have scored just once across their first three home league matches, while Leeds have conceded fewer than a goal per game on average.
The hosts' recent scoring struggles and Leeds' relatively solid defence point towards a tight contest. Leeds have also scored just one goal on all three away starts this season.
Sunderland v Leeds Bet Builder Tip
- Leeds United to win
- Under 4 goals
- Jayden Bogle to have 1+ shots on target
Pays 10/1
Leeds' stronger recent results make the away win the foundation of this higher-risk combination.
Under 4 goals complements that selection by targeting a controlled victory rather than a high-scoring shootout, with neither Leeds having scored nine goals in seven games and Sunderland just six.
Bogle offers an additional player-market angle from right-back. His attacking runs can provide opportunities to shoot where he has had a lot of success recently.
In his last five games he has registered five shots on target, with only one of those games not resulting in a shot on target.
