We had written in last week's introductory text that Sunderland was one of the teams that we had already seen in the boxing day, while also paying special attention to its home game with Birmingham where we considered the net favorite odds they did not deserve betting. Obviously it is not a matter of skill, but the final 1-1 has fully justified us.
Sunderland, however, was very good in this game, and generally her image since Commander has changed dramatically for the better. He had a lot of opportunities to win in Birmingham, he has been with a player over for quite some time but has not managed to find the winning goal, but he is still undefeated for a third consecutive game and a fourth in the last five. We remind you that in the last one he has doubled in Berton and especially 0-0 in Moline from the mighty Wolves despite having a player for quite a long time.
As for Sheffield, although 2-2 within Villa Park can not be counted as a negative result, its deformity is clear. This was the sixth non-winning game, with four defeats, two of which in the last three within.
Our view is that here, yes, on the one hand the timing is right to bet on Sunderland, on the other hand we have the satisfactory odds to do it like the 5,25 offered at bet365.
