In the sixth round of the English Premier League, Sunderland will host Brighton. The guests complete the top three of the strongest teams in the Premier League. The hosts are still in the bottom half of the table. Who will be able to win on October tenth? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Sunderland
Current form
Sunderland managed to get into the main stage of the Europa League, where they managed to start with a 1-0 home victory over AZ Alkmaar. Nevertheless, things are not going well in the championship so far. In the last two rounds, Regis Le Brie's team suffered defeats from Arsenal (0:2) and Manchester City (3:5), after which they dropped to 14th place. So far, we have managed to win only in a home match over Fulham (1-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ballard, Brobbi, Diarra and Mandl will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
The team has won four of the last five home matches.
In none of the last three face-to-face matches has more than one goal been scored.
Brighton is getting in shape and deservedly entered the top three of the strongest teams in the Premier League. So far, the club is in third place, with 10 points after five matches. The guests lost only to Chelsea (3:4) in an over-productive match. In recent matches, Fabian Hürzeler's team left no chance for Coventry City (5-0) and Arsenal (3-0), and also scored a strong-willed victory over Manchester United (3-2) in the League Cup. The key player is 35-year-old Pascal Gros, who scored in each of these matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Aziz, Ferguson, Minte, Mitoma, Tsimas, Viffer and Johana remain in the infirmary. Hinshelwood and Streke's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In each of the last three matches, the guests scored at least three goals.
In the last three face-to-face matches, Brighton did not concede from Sunderland.
This season, the guests are playing great football and seriously aspiring to get into the Champions League zone. The visitors have performed particularly well in the last three matches, scoring 11 goals against Coventry, Manchester United and Arsenal. For sure, Sunderland will not be able to contain the powerful attack of the seagulls, but the hosts themselves will actively respond with their counter-attacks. After all, the Black Cats scored three goals in the away game against Manchester City. We are waiting for a productive match from our rivals.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals per 1.80
Brighton expects to become one of the leaders of English football and the start of the season is going just great for Hurzeler's team. We managed to break the long unbeaten streak of the reigning champion, Arsenal. Moreover, they managed to win a crushing victory over such an opponent. We believe that Sunderland will be able to beat them confidently, besides, the key players of the hosts, Ballard and Brobbie, were injured in the national team matches.
Our betting tip is a victory for Brighton in 2.30
Betting on corners
The visitors are playing attacking football and will surely bend their line in the away match against Sunderland. Most likely, Brighton will have an advantage in many respects, including the number of corners.
Our prediction is that Brighton will win on corners in 1.82
