“Winning is 100% certain for them”- EFL expert Gabriel Sutton makes two bold predictions ahead of Leeds United vs Sunderland that Black Cats fans will be eager hear
Sunderland has received an optimistic forecast ahead of their upcoming match against Leeds United from an EFL analyst.
The Black Cats will head to Elland Road this evening to take on a Leeds United team in great form.
With five wins in their last six league games, Daniel Farke’s squad is firing on all cylinders, and Sunderland will need to be at their best to take on this formidable challenge.
However, Sunderland can take confidence from their previous meeting, where they secured a point after a late gift from Leeds’ goalkeeper, Ilian Meslier.
He allowed an Alan Browne through ball to slip through his hands and into an empty net, gifting Sunderland a late equalizer.
If Sunderland manages to secure a win tonight, it would be a remarkable achievement, but one EFL analyst believes they have the ability to pull it off, with the potential to go even further in their campaign.
Sunderland’s Positive Outlook for Leeds United Clash and Promotion Hopes
Heading into this game, Sunderland is seen as the underdog, partly due to Leeds United’s strong home record, having lost only once at Elland Road in the league.
However, much like Burnley earlier this season, Sunderland has been tipped to pull off an away victory against Leeds United.
EFL analyst Gabriel Sutton shared his thoughts on the match and the promotion race, stating in an interview with The Sportsman on YouTube: “My top two for promotion are Sunderland and Leeds. I think Sunderland will go to Elland Road and win – that’s my bold prediction.
Once Romaine Mundle and/or Tommy Watson are back fit, Sunderland will find another gear.
I’m still backing Sunderland to win the league, and I believe Leeds will also finish in the top two. Moving Le Fee into an attacking midfield role is key.”
Key Sunderland Player Could Be the Difference at Leeds United
Sunderland managed a respectable draw in their last encounter with Leeds United, but they have one player who could give them the edge to secure a victory this time around: Enzo Le Fee.
The French midfielder delivered a standout performance in their last match against Luton Town, scoring a brilliant goal by cutting onto his preferred right foot. There’s no reason why he can’t replicate that performance against Leeds, particularly against their full-back, Jayden Bogle.
If Le Fee can find the right space on the ball, he could be the difference-maker for Sunderland, offering the individual brilliance that could tilt the game in their favor.
