Burnley vs Sunderland Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 23rd August 2025

As the early season favourites, Burnley will look to justify their title credentials this coming Saturday when they take on Sunderland for a round 2 match in the Premier League.

Burnley will be hopeful of getting on the board after an unlucky opening game to the new Premier League campaign which left them empty-handed.

Burnley came away from their premiere match of the season with nothing to show for it and hope to make amends in the upcoming match.

We are bound to see an exciting game on Saturday as both Burnley and Sunderland are looking to add some much-needed points to their respective accounts.

Burnley are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 12 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.2 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 18 goals, or an average of 1.8 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to zero clean sheets in this run.

Sunderland are currently not the most scoring team in the Premier League, as they only found the back of the net eight times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.8 goals a game in which they conceded 18 times, an average of 1.8 per game. They managed two clean sheets in these.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Burnley played Sunderland. The pair finished even in a 0-0 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Burnley vs Sunderland Prediction

Burnley Form

Burnley are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Queens Park Rangers by 0-5, before beating Millwall by 3-1. The winning streak came to an end against Tottenham, who ran out 3-0 winners. Burnley just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the Turf Moor. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded 11 goals.

Sunderland Form

Sunderland won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 0-1 against Coventry, before beating Sheffield United 1-2. Another win followed, this time by 3-0 against West Ham. Sunderland claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew zero and were defeated five times, as they were outscored by 11 goals to three.

Burnley go into their match at Turf Moor as favourites with the bookies, but form has been too shabby for us to back that claim. We prefer a bet on Sunderland, while the more cautious punter might prefer the double-chance.
