Sunderland - Burnley predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Sunderland on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Burnley have their work cut out for them this Saturday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.40 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

Sunderland were widely considered the favourites at kick-off in their most recent bout against Sheffield Wednesday, but their performance was still quite impressive. Most bookies expected a close fight, yet Sunderland took a lead in the first half and went on to dominate the proceedings. The 4:0 score at the end was great news for their Championship campaign.

The Clarets’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Cardiff City. The 5:0 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from Burnley in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Sunderland’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Niall Huggins, Daniel Ballard, Ian Poveda-Ocampo have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

And Away Win wager here offers a nice balance between risk and reward. It’s a bit riskier than what most betting predictions usually suggest, but the 2.26 odds are worth it in terms of value.
