It has been a year to remember for Sunderland fans and the Black Cats will be looking to end 2025 on a high by beating Leeds at the Stadium of Light.
Plenty of punters would have thought you'd been drinking too much at this time last year if you'd predicted Sunderland would sit seventh in the Premier League heading into their final round of 2025 fixtures.
But Regis Le Bris' men have taken the top flight by storm after winning promotion and will fancy their chances of banking three more points when Leeds United come calling.
Sunderland vs Leeds United top betting tips
I thought the Black Cats might suffer a bit after losing so many players to the Africa Cup of Nations but they managed to grind out a 0-0 draw on the road in Brighton.
Sunderland are slight favourites for this one at 7/4, with Leeds at 19/10 after going four games unbeaten.
It does look like a tough one to call and the half-time draw appeals at 57/50 with BetMGM. That bet landed when Leeds came to the Stadium of Light last season in the Championship.
Both meetings last term were entertaining, with a 2-2 draw on Wearside followed by a 2-1 win for Leeds at Elland Road.
Sunderland's recent games have been pretty dull but we've seen plenty of goals with Daniel Farke's side so there could be some value in backing over 2.5 goals at 13/10 with Bet365.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur
The other Premier League game today is a London derby as Tottenham take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles were flying at the start of the season but their lack of squad depth is now coming home to roost, with the players looking leggy as they juggle domestic and European commitments.
Palace had another game in midweek and suffered a blow as they lost on penalties to Arsenal in the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
That could have an impact today and Tottenham look a little overpriced at 5/2 with BetMGM.
Betting on Spurs is a risky business though, with Thomas Frank's side on a poor run and missing Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons through suspension.
Betting against goals could be the shout here and BTTS no pays 11/10 at 888Sport.
For a long-odds punt, veteran Palace full-back Nathaniel Clyne looks overpriced at 11/2 for a card with Bet365 if he gets the nod to start.
Ivory Coast vs Cameroon
Most of the games so far at the Africa Cup of Nations have pitted big guns against minnows but there's a clash of the titans today as Ivory Coast take on Cameroon.
Both teams got off to winning starts, with the holders edging out Mozambique by a single goal and Cameroon defeating Gabon by the same score.
This match should decide who tops the group so I'm expecting a tight 90 minutes with both teams wary of conceding.
Under 2.5 goals looks likely but the odds are terrible at a best 1/2 with Betfred. The half-time draw is better at evens with BetMGM yet the best value comes in the player markets.
The midfield battle could be fiery and combining over 1.5 fouls for Ibrahim Sangare and Darlin Yongwa pays 14/10 at Bet365.

A day to keep the pennies in the pocket I think. Only team I fancy at decent odds is inter Milan
That’s funny mate,keep pennies in the pocket but I fancy Inter Milan at decent odds😂,couldn’t make it up if I tried lol,thats tickled me pink and made my day TheMaster👍
It means I’m not going to post lots of daft bets. Like you.
I’m fortunate because I can control my betting as dont post everyday for the sake of having a bet so just because the odds seem decent isn’t a good reason to bet as they are set at those odds for a very good reason mate,remember the old saying if something seems to good to be true…,anyway hope it wins as its about beating the bookies as a collective unit mate👍

Was gonna do the 40 throw ins, 40 tackles & 4 offsides combo but a measly 9/1. Should be at least 33/1 every game.
Betfair have got rid of their Betfair edge promo and basically giving acca/BB insurance on trebles and above. I was 2/3 on 66/1 & 287/1 on booking trebles yday, Florentino for big win and Gibbs White for 66/1. Fiver on both, one day will hit a massive win 😂
Sick of that bas tard VAR
