Three points would have been nicer as the Black Cats have slipped from Champions League qualifier contention to mid-table since that encouraging start to the campaign after the straight bounce up from the Championship for Regis Le Bris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consensus view outside of Tyneside is that Le Bris had the side admirably punching above its weight the first three months of the campaign, with transfer adds like Granit Xhaka at midfield proving quite useful, but having so many players leave for AFCON duty in the middle of the season, and then returning in January, effectively put the season off its early axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leeds&#8217; Current Form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, fellow promoted side Leeds has taken a different path this term but can pull to within three points of Sunderland in the unofficial \u201cPromotion Sweepstakes\u201d with a win here at Elland Road. It says something about how far the All-Whites have come since Daniel Farke pulled off the hand-brake and turned his players loose in late November, to the point the only losses since have come against current Champs League participants Arsenal, Newcastle, and Man City, with the latter causing Leeds fans to feel aggrieved at not getting a better result they felt deserved on the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though not completely out of the woods with the drop zone just six points below, nothing about form the past three months suggests Leeds is in any danger, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, still getting ample opportunities, is due to resume his goal-scoring spree from the late autumn when netting seven times across a six-match stretch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leeds vs Sunderland Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The straight win at home for <strong>Leeds at -105 or thereabouts<\/strong> is hard to bypass, which would be the top recommendation here. A decent case can probably be made for over <strong>2.5 goals at +110<\/strong> or so as well. Might also look to supplement and slightly enhance the potential return with Leeds Halftime\/Fulltime, priced at +210, and <strong>Calvert-Lewin at +130 to find the net<\/strong> might be worth a smaller swing as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/english-premier-league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EPL Picks and Predictions Today<\/a> at WagerTalk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WagerTalk is the largest picks site online offering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whttps:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/english-premier-leagueagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/nba\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/free-sports-picks\/nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premier League FREE PICKS<\/a> every week as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\/soccer\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com\/picks\/nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">premium paid soccer picks<\/a> from expert professional sports bettors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_42629\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y6lPZySHuAc?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/legacy.winnersandwhiners.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Soccer Betting Strategy and Tips with Pavlos Laguretos - How to WIN Betting Soccer!\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/y6lPZySHuAc\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y6lPZySHuAc\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"YouTube video\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/y6lPZySHuAc\/0.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"\"><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"newsletterfrm\"><\/a>\n<div class=\"hottest_play_area\">\n  <div id=\"newsletter_widget\" class=\"hottest_play_third_area newsletter_widget\">\n    <div class=\"hottest_play_third_area_content\">\n      <div class=\"sign-up-offer-text\">\n        <p>SPECIAL OFFER FOR FIRST TIME SUBSCRIBERS<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"newsletter-thank new\" style=\"display: none;\">\n        <a class=\"anchor-newsletter\"><\/a>\n        Thanks for signing up!
