Sunderland vs Burnley Tips, Bet Builder Predictions & Latest Odds
Two newly promoted sides enduring starkly contrasting Premier League campaigns collide under the Monday night lights, as Sunderland aim to revive a fading European charge against a Burnley side entrenched in relegation trouble.
Sunderland’s home record remains a standout after Arsenal’s defeat last weekend left the Black Cats as the league’s only side yet to lose on their own turf this season.
Their form away from the Stadium of Light tells a different story, though, with a 3-1 defeat at West Ham last time out extending a run of just one win from their last seven league matches.
Here are our top three football betting tips ahead of Monday night's game.
Sunderland vs Burnley Tips
Inconsistency has dragged Sunderlandinto the bottom half of the table, and with the hosts starting this round five points off the top four, hopes of an unlikely Champions League push are beginning to fade.
Still, there is reassurance in the fact they are one of only four teams yet to lose consecutive league games this season, suggesting a response may be forthcoming.
Burnley, by contrast, find themselves in a far bleaker position.
Despite finishing 24 points clear of Sunderland in last season’s Championship, the Clarets head into this round 18 points behind their rivals in the Premier League table.
Scott Parker’s side sit inside the bottom three, ten points from safety, and relegation is looming for the third time in three top-flight campaigns. A 2-2 draw with Tottenham last weekend extended their winless league run to 14 matches, a sequence that has severely dented survival hopes.

Tip 1: Sunderland to win to nil
Any positivity around Burnley has slowly started disappearing over the past couple of months.
Without a win in the Premier League since late-October (against the only side below them in the standings, Wolves) is a damning indictment of Scott Parker’s side, and the fact they have taken just five points on the road all season isn’t much better reading.
Sunderland were poor against West Ham last weekend but are slowly getting back to full strength following the returns of their AFCON stars.
Sunderland are a strong home side and should be able to canter to victory under the Monday night lights.
Tip 2: Sunderland to win both halves
The Black Cats have won six of their eleven home matches this season and are quietly making the Stadium of Light a fortress.
Goals haven’t exactly been a premium for them this season, scoring just a shade over a goal a game, but only West Ham have conceded more than Burnley’s 44 this campaign, so Regis Le Bris’ side should create plenty of chances.
9/2 is a big price for the home side to win both halves — after all, a 2-0 win isn’t a crazy thought.
Tip 3: Score with a Header - Brian Brobbey
Mr. Brobbey is beginning to cause a good kind of chaos for Sunderland this season.
Three goals in his last five appearances for the Black Cats have seen him get the nod leading their line, and a header on Monday is well worth a look at 14/1.
Two of his five goals this season have come from his head and as their form player he is an easy selection.
