Leeds vs Sunderland: the forecast for the Championship match

Current form

Leeds came to the start of the season as one of the obvious contenders for a direct ticket to the Premier League - in terms of player selection, the Whites significantly outperformed all opponents. So far, Daniel Farke's team fully corresponds to this status and occupies the second place in the table with 69 points – the Sheffield United leader has one point more, but he has already played his match in the 33rd round, there is an opportunity to return to the first place today. In the last round, Leeds beat Watford 4-0 away, thus gaining their third victory in a row and the 20th of the season.
