Leeds United vs Sunderland: match statistics
Leeds United presents decidedly better home form with a 43% win rate and a positive goal difference of +3 at their own stadium. The hosts score an average of 1.57 goals per match at home with a high efficiency of 11% and fail to score in only 21% of matches. Sunderland performs very poorly in away matches—just 14% wins, a massive 57% of matches without scoring a goal, and a negative balance of -14. The visitors score just 0.5 goals on average away with a low conversion rate of 6% and concede an average of 1.5 goals. The recent form of both teams (1.2 vs 0.8 points per match) and xG statistics (1.5 vs 1.05) also speak in Leeds' favor. Taking all parameters into account, a home victory is the most probable scenario, although Leeds' weaker recent streak (WDDDL) and Sunderland's solid defense do not rule out a draw.
