Tottenham vs Sunderland Prediction

Tottenham Form

In their last three matches, Tottenham lost 1-2 against Liverpool, won 0-1 against Crystal Palace, before drawing 0-0 against Brentford. Tottenham claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Premier League, which also saw them drawing one and losing four matches, in which they scored seven and conceded nine goals.

Sunderland Form

Following three draws in their last three matches, Sunderland could do with a win again. Against Brighton, they finished even 0-0, before drawing again in a 1-1 match with Leeds. Another 0-0 stalemate against Manchester City followed. Sunderland only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Premier League. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by eight goals to three.

Tottenham find it tough these days to get a goal in, but Sunderland are equally lacklustre in front of goal currently, and going with under 2.5 goals in the betting market is the obvious choice.

Tottenham won four matches, scored 13 goals and conceded 11 in their last ten games against teams from the top half of the Premier League table. This earned them 14 points. Tottenham have a record of seven wins, five draws and seven defeats in the Premier League this season. Sunderland are looking at seven wins, eight draws and four defeats in the Premier League.
