Liverpool Sunderland betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is that Liverpool will win. Although they haven’t won any of the last 2 home matches, despite the away loss in the last round, Liverpool has a much better squad and urgently needs to win to at least get into a European competition standing. Moreover, Sunderland hasn’t been very strong in away matches, so they shouldn’t be able to create many problems. The away team is also the worst defence of the league, so Liverpool should take advantage of that to get the 3 points in this round.

Preview
Liverpool and Sunderland meet at Anfield, in a match for the 25th round of the Premier League. Liverpool got an away win by (0‑1), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 30‑12‑2015. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 2 draws in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 06‑12‑2014, in a match for the Premier League, they tied (0‑0). Although this is a match between 8th and 19th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 13th best in home matches and the 18th best in away matches.

Analysis Liverpool

The home team is currently in the 8th position of the league, with 34 points won, after 9 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Norwich City, by (4‑5). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Leicester City, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 18 points in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 19 conceded, against 16 points won at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 15 conceded. For the league, Liverpool won 13 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (5 out of 11 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Liverpool comes to this match with the intention of improving their position in the league, since they have lost against Leicester in the last round. In this match Liverpool managed not to concede goals in the first half, thanks to a great exhibition from keeper Mignolet. But in the second half they were unable to resist the efficiency of striker Vardy, the best scorer of the league, with 18 goals scored this season. Moreover, Liverpool had problems creating goal opportunities, so striker Roberto Firmino was unable to score and was replaced. In home league matches they have scored 9 goals in 11 matches and suffered 8 goals. Moreover, they haven’t won any of the last 2 home matches. However, they faced top quality teams: Arsenal and Manchester United.

Confirmed Lineup: Simon Mignolet, Nathaniel Clyne, Alberto Moreno, Dejan Lovren, Mamadou Sakho, Joe Allen, Jordan Henderson, Emre Can, James Milner, Adam Lallana, Roberto Firmino.
Coach: J. Klopp.

Analysis Sunderland

The away team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 15 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against AFC Bournemouth, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Manchester City, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 7 points in away matches and 12 points at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 13 goals conceded at home, against 15 goals scored and 34 conceded in away matches. In the last 10 away league matches Sunderland has a record of 2 wins and 8 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 12 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Sunderland had a great exhibition against Manchester City, despite the 1-0 loss. They suffered the goal at minute 15’ of the first half, but afterwards they pressured the 2nd placed of the league. Defoe had a great exhibition and pressured Joe Hart, but the keeper had a great exhibition too and avoided the equalizer. Sunderland is 4 points behind Norwich City, the first team out of the relegation zone, so they need to win points to reach a more comfortable position. Although they haven’t won but one of the last 7 matches, they scored at least one goal in all of them. Therefore, their biggest weakness is not offensive but defensive. Sure enough, Sunderland is the worst defence of the league, with 47 goals conceded in 24 matches.

Confirmed Lineup: Vito Mannone, Billy Jones, Patrick van Aanholt, Lamine Koné, Duncan Watmore, Yann M'Vila, Wahbi Khazri, Jermain Defoe.
Coach: J. Kirchhoff, J. O'Shea, L. Cattermole, A. Neil.
