Liverpool vs Sunderland Prediction & Odds: Why This 2/1 Best Bet Looks Value

Liverpool will be desperately hoping to have turned a corner with their win at West Ham but surprise packages Sunderland are more than capable of adding to Arne Slot’s headaches.

Alexander Isak ’s first Premier League goal for the Reds and a late clincher from Cody Gakpo sealed a 2-0 win over the 10-man Hammers and ended a run of three bruising losses.

Liverpool are still eighth and nine points adrift of pacesetters Arsenal , but another loss could have seen them drop as low as 14th and the champions will not be getting carried away.

Promoted Sunderland have the chance to inflict a third successive major Anfield upset on Liverpool , following wins for Nottingham Forest (3-0) and PSV Eindhoven (4-1), and Regis Le Bris’ sixth-placed side have already made plenty of waves so far.

However, we think Liverpool could edge it and a home win with BTTS @ 2/1 is our tip.

Head-to-Head

Head-to-Head

These two have not met since the 2016/17 season, when Liverpool claimed a 2-0 win at home before Sunderland salvaged a 2-2 Stadium of Light draw thanks to Jermain Defoe ’s last-gasp penalty.

Sunderland have not beaten Liverpool in 10 matches, a winless run stretching back to 2012, while they have not won at Anfield since 1983.

Form Guides

Liverpool form guide

The Reds’ struggles are well-documented and make pretty horrific reading for the reigning champions.

They have lost nine of 13 games since going on a seven-match winning streak at the start of the season and have already been beaten four times at Anfield - having only lost eight home games in the previous four seasons combined.

Remarkably, Liverpool are the only club in the Football League yet to record a league draw this season and, not including the Community Shield, they have won 11 and lost nine of their 20 matches overall.

A draw tomorrow is 15/4 but a better bet could be on former Newcastle hitman Alexander Isak , having now opened his league account for Liverpool , to open the scoring @ 7/2.

A nd BOYLE Sports' Sub Swap offer means that the bet will switch to Isak ’s replacement if he is substituted, potentially giving you a double chance of success.

7/2
● LIVE ODDS Alexander Isak First Goalscorer

Sunderland form guide

Sunderland may have won promotion by the barest of margins - a stoppage-time winner in the play-off final - but they have adapted to the top flight better than any side in the last 20 years.

They lie sixth in the table, three points off Manchester City in second, and remain unbeaten at the Stadium of Light.

However, they have not been as successful away, suffering all three of their defeats on the road and picking up only two wins, although one of those was at Chelsea .

With that in mind, Sunderland now face a potentially key period which sees them play three of their next four games away – at Liverpool , Manchester City and Brighton - with their home game coming against arch-rivals Newcastle.
