Home

Leeds United

Leeds are tough to score against in front of their own fans at Elland Road, though they don't create a great deal themselves.

Away

Sunderland

A steady mid-table team, Sunderland defend well on the road at Elland Road but can struggle to turn possession into chances.

Match preview

Sunderland visit Elland Road to face Leeds United in the 2026/27 Premier League. We project 1.76 expected goals for Leeds against 1.08 for Sunderland, and that gap drives our 53% rating for Leeds.
