Betting on Burnley
Burnley has only suffered two defeats in almost five months, and they were against two of the greatest teams in England: Manchester United (in the EFL Cup) and Manchester City (in the FA Cup). In the Championship, their last defeat dates back to November 5, 2022, when Sheffield United handed them their second loss of the season in the second division of English soccer.
The Clarets boast some impressive numbers: they’ve won the most games and lost the fewest, scored the most goals and conceded the fewest. In addition, they haven’t lost a single match at home in the tournament, with 14 wins and only 5 losses.
Their star player is Nathan Tella, the 23-year-old striker who has 17 goals in the competition, including two hat tricks. What’s more, Josh Brownhill is the leader in assists, with 7, and Josh Brownhill leads the team in assists, with 7.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Arijanet Muric; Hjalmar Ekdal, Louis Beyer and Ian Maatsen; Vitinho, Connor Roberts, Josh Cullen and Johann Gudmunsson; Ashley Barnes; Nathan Tella and Anass Zaroury.
Betting on Sunderland
Sunderland are on the quest to redeem themselves in English football after five years of disappointment that saw them relegated to the third division. The Northern team started the season off strong, but in recent weeks, they’ve hit a rough patch, and out of their last seven matches, they’ve only won one and lost four.
It’s possible that this dip in form has coincided with the loss of their top attacking player, Scottish striker Ross Stewart, who’s scored 10 goals this season but recently suffered a serious injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Anthony Patterson; Trai Hume, Daniel Ballard, Danny Batth and Luke O’Nien; Edouard Michut and Daniel Neill; Patrick Roberts, Abdoullah Ba and Jack Clarke; Joe Gelhardt.
JefeBet Prediction
Burnley is cruising towards the title, and Sunderland won’t be able to stop it. Vincent Kompany’s team is set to take a secure victory against an opponent that’s not exactly the picture of stability.
Prediction: Burnley wins 2-0.
