Sunderland vs Burnley – Monday 2nd February at 8pm

Over 1.5 match goals and Sunderland over two corners remains well supported once attacking and territorial data is added.

This matchup sets up well for goals and sustained home pressure. Sunderland have scored in 10 of 11 home league games, showing consistent attacking output at the Stadium of Light. Burnley’s away profile reinforces that trend. They have conceded two or more goals in nine of 11 away matches and their road games average 3.54 total goals, with all 11 producing at least two goals. Burnley have also scored in nine of 11 away fixtures, which further increases the likelihood of the game clearing the 1.5 goal line.

The corner angle is equally strong. Sunderland average 3.64 corners per home game and have registered three or more in nine home matches, with Arsenal one of the few sides to limit them. Burnley concede an average of 6.45 corners away from home and have allowed three or more corners in all 11 away games. With Sunderland expected to apply sustained pressure against a defence that allows territory, over 1.5 goals and Sunderland over two corners aligns cleanly with the underlying numbers.

• Bet: Over 1.5 match goals and Sunderland over two corners

• Odds: Bet365 at 1/2

• £10 returns £15
