Sunderland - Swansea City predictions

We don’t expect Sunderland to have any issues beating Swansea City. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.73 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic The Swans fans are expecting them to triumph at Sunderland this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Sunderland faced off against Norwich City in the previous game, and most bookies placed them as the underdogs. The final result was a 0:0 draw, however, after a prolonged stalemate which isn’t something to scoff at.

Swansea are coming on the back of a 3:0 victory in their most recent Championship game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Plymouth Argyle was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

With zero concessions over their previous three Championship matches, Sunderland’s defence has a lot of reasons to feel confident. Likelwise, top bookmakers online are offering great odds on $Home winning to Nil.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. The Swans have netted 6 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

The last time these two teams met Sunderland managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Saturday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.75. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
