Sunderland and Leeds meet on Sunday with contrasting forms in the Premier League.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 23 October 2026

Sunderland return to Premier League action this Sunday afternoon to welcome Leeds United to the Stadium of Light. Punters can find plenty of attractive betting promotions available for the five top flight fixtures scheduled across the country this weekend. Regis Le Bris and his players desperately need a positive result to turn their difficult campaign around.

Sunderland struggles

The home side currently sit rock bottom of the table after enduring a very tough start to the season. They suffered a deserved two goal defeat away at Bournemouth last weekend and have lost their last four league matches. Their recent poor form makes them outsiders in the betting markets for this weekend fixture.

Kevin Danso is suspended after receiving a red card in his last outing. The hosts also remain without injured players Dan Ballard, Romaine Mundle, and Thomas Meunier. However, Habib Diarra and goalkeeper Robin Roefs are expected to feature in the starting lineup.

Leeds momentum

Leeds arrive at the Stadium of Light in much better shape after drawing one all with Manchester United. Daniel Farke has his team playing with a rugged approach that has brought positive results since August. Their strong start to the season means bookmakers price them attractively to claim another victory.

Daniel James and Joe Rodon remain doubtful due to fitness concerns. Mateo Joseph is also sidelined with a knee injury for the Yorkshire club. Despite these potential absences, the visitors carry significant confidence into this away match.

Betting tip

The recommended selection for this fixture is Dominic Calvert Jackson to record over zero point five shots on target at odds of four over seven with 1xBet. This market angle offers decent value for punters backing the visitors to test the home defence.

What it means for a bet

Backing Dominic Calvert Jackson for a shot on target at four over seven looks like a solid play based on recent form.
