Average of the most recent matches with stats available (7 and 7 respectively).
Sunderland AFC registers identical average possession figures to its opponent despite trailing significantly in the standings, yet the defensive vulnerability yielding two goals per match suggests the hosts will struggle to impose control against a visiting side conceding less than a goal on average.
The visiting side concentrates its scoring efficiency in the final quarter of each half, aligning with a defensive leakage from Sunderland AFC that yields multiple goals per appearance and exposes the hosts during the exact intervals where Leeds United FC traditionally increases its offensive output.
