The match has not been played. This is not a tip: the model turns the chances both sides create and concede into probabilities, and it is wrong regularly.
A slight edge to Sunderland: 53% against 24%. Attack against defence: Sunderland should create more, 1.86 expected goals a match against 1.39. Sunderland are 3.7 points short of what their play deserved — more dangerous than the table suggests.
