Sunderland and the Stadium of Light
There is only one team in the entirety of the Premier League that hasn’t lost a match at home this season. It’s not Manchester United or Manchester City. It’s not Liverpool or Chelsea. It’s not even top of the table Arsenal, It’s Sunderland. When playing at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland have been in tremendous form.
They’ve played 12 home matches this season and have won seven of those, drawing the other five. They’ve taken points off teams like Manchester City, Newcastle, Arsenal and Aston Villa while playing at home. This is important to remember that this team tends to defy odds when backed by its fans.
Liverpool’s Recent Form Favors Goals
Liverpool will enter this match coming off a brutal loss to Manchester City over the weekend. They went up 1-0 against the Citizens at home, and conceded two goals after the 80th minute to lose all three points. While this match was disappointing, we saw a continuation of a few things.
The first is that Liverpool games have been fantastic for people who like betting on goals. Their last five matches have seen 22 goals, with players like Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai really finding their strides. The defense is the main problem. Liverpool’s defense has been horrendous and not up to their standard. Expect them to press for goals, but expect a Sunderland team that is dominant at home to do the same.
