2.27Tip and bets
The hosts are showing an extremely weak game and have not won for quite some time. It is unlikely that this streak will be broken in a home match with a club from the top 5 of the Championship. Sunderland has gained great momentum and is quite capable of fighting for a place in the Premier League. We believe that the visitors will be able to continue their successful streak in a duel with one of the candidates for relegation.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Sunderland for 1.60
Bet on total
The visitors have been impressive in attack, scoring seven goals in their last three matches. The hosts don't score that often, but Sunderland will probably impose their style of play, so Stoke will have to respond with their own counterattacks. We believe there will be no shortage of goals in this match.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 2.03
Bet on corners
Most likely, the visitors will have the initiative on the field, which should help them win not only by score, but also by the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is Sunderland to win on corners at 1.75
