Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

  1. Home advantage

    Edge: Sunderland

    Sunderland are the stronger side and at home, which our model values at just over a fifth of a goal. Both advantages add up.

  2. Expected goals

    Edge: Even

    At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (51% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Sunderland

    Sunderland rate clearly higher and the draw is only 25%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Sunderland

Expect Sunderland to sit compact at Stadium of Light and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Away

Leeds United

Expect Leeds to sit compact on their trip to Stadium of Light and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Sunderland name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Leeds score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Sunderland vs Leeds match preview

Sunderland host Leeds United in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Sunderland. The expected-goals gap (1.52 for Sunderland, 1.20 for Leeds) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 45% for Sunderland comes from. Leeds's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
