Offside.win Premier League Sunderland v Leeds United

Sunderland v Leeds United

Premier League, Regular season, Matchday 8. Kick-off Sunday 25 October, 16:30 UK time, at Stadium of Light, Sunderland.

Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Sunderland v Leeds United is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

The results here are not telling the whole story. Sunderland are happy without the ball: in two of the four games they had less of it, they still made the better chances. And they are trending down: their last four games have been their poorest for the chances they make and allow. On top of that, they have scored only 10 in their last ten from chances that would usually bring about 19. The goals are coming. Whoever makes the better chances on the day takes this one.
