Sunderland vs Burnley Prediction

Sunderland Form

Sunderland have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Cardiff by 0-2. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 2-0 against Preston, before achieving a 4-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday. Sunderland claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Championship, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored five and conceded eight goals.

A runners-up spot is the absolute minimum Burnley should achieve for a season in which a tilt at league glory is their top priority.

Burnley Form

In their last three matches, Burnley lost against Nottingham Forest by 1-2, beat Luton by 1-4 winning 5-0 against Cardiff. Burnley performed a very admirable four wins in six Championship away matches, as well as two draws but no defeats. They scored 11 times, while also conceding five goals.

The big goal of the season for Burnley has to be winning the title, with a place inside the top two expected as the Championship action starts to unfold.

Sunderland are really tough to break down, but as the expense of scoring only few goals themselves. A low scoring encounter is on the menu this coming Saturday, when Burnley come visiting.
