West Bromwich Albion - Sunderland predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Sunderland would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

West Bromwich Albion went into their previous Championship match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Norwich City , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 1:0 defeat in hte end.

There’s not a lot that can be said about Sunderland’s previous performance because the whole affair was rather predictable. An early lead allowed them to stroll their way to a comfortable 1:0 home win against Millwall.

Whether they’re playing home or away, WBA games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Sunderland. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Even though we’ve seen The Baggies and Sunderland clash multiple times this season, none of the two teams managed to secure a conclusive record. There have several tied games throughout multiple competitions.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
