Championship, Tuesday, 09.04.2024
The Peacocks and the Black Cats face each other in a late game on Tuesday evening in the Championship, the second English league.
While the visitors are only in contention for the golden pineapple in the table, the home side are aiming for direct promotion.
Due to their home strength, my Leeds Sunderland betting tip predicts an advantage for the Whites
Rarely has a promotion race in the English second division been as exciting as this year. We all remember the start-to-finish victories of previous seasons.
For a long time, coach Daniel Farke’s men were on course for direct promotion. But they were recently knocked out of the top two.
After just one win from their last three games (1U, 1N), the competition has managed to overtake them.
Just as well for the Whites that Ipswich also lost on Saturday, which means the gap to second place is just one point
The visitors no longer have anything to do with promotion this season. Last year, they were still in the play-offs for the Premier League.
Looking at the personnel decisions this season, quite a few seem to remember the chaos of days gone by.
For the second time this season, Mike Dodds has taken over as interim coach of the Black Cats. After four defeats in a row, his charges recently went three out of four matches without defeat.
However, they also failed to score in half of those games. Should that happen again, the bookies at Bwin are offering odds of around 2.00 in the Leeds Sunderland betting tip.
This is also due to the home side’s strong defense throughout the year. They have conceded just 13 goals at Elland Road this season.
They have won six of their last nine home games. There has also not been a home defeat so far
They are difficult to stop up front, especially through Crysencio Summerville. The young attacker has scored in two of his last three games after a long drought.
For your Leeds Sunderland betting tip, he is therefore likely to be the hottest thing in the fire as far as player bets are concerned.
Betano bookmakers are predicting odds of around 2.40 for the Dutchman to score.
On the Black Cats’ side, all eyes are once again on Jack Clarke. After his injury, the squad were noticeably missing their source of inspiration.
Against Bristol City on Saturday, he was back in the starting eleven for the first time after an ankle problem. Will he be rewarded with another goal straight away?
The bookies at NEObet have an interesting head-to-head bet for your Leeds Sunderland betting tip.
If Clark wins the private duel with Summerville, i.e. scores more goals, the odds are 8.50. If the duel goes to the United striker, the odds are just over 2.70.
Since the games against top teams such as Leicester, Southampton, Norwich and Ipswich all resulted in defeats, it is unlikely that the Black Cats will score.
Nevertheless, I think they will be able to keep the game open, at least for a while. Maybe Clarke can get something going up front.
My Leeds Sunderland tip is therefore: Home win and at least three goals scored!
