Liverpool vs Sunderland Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, both teams had a 1-1 draw in Liverpool’s home court but Liverpool has six wins and two draws in their 8 meetings before that.
In this Liverpool vs Sunderland Prediction, Liverpool is coming as -140 road favorites. Sunderland has been incredibly strong at home, as they have been undefeated in their last 11 home games, but Liverpool is 3-2 in its last 5 games and has been dominating Sunderland historically, so i would rather not pick a side as there is value on the total. Both teams are a perfect 11-0 to the over in their last 11 games combined, so I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 2.5 goals in this one.
