Fulham vs Sunderland tips and predictions

Sunderland price just looks too big in FA Cup tussle

With the gulf in class between the sides, the hosts are expected to get through this. But perhaps this will not be as cut-and-dried as it seems. Sunderland are certainly up against it in this clash but they might just impress the naysayers. The home win price is just too short so for a bit of fun, the pick is with the outsiders. The following preview discusses the most important goal scoring stats in order to identify the best value, which in this case is the away win.

Needless to say, the hosts are widely expected to win with ease but they are not unbeatable. Defending at home Fulham's performances have shown some fallibility. They have conceded at least once in all of their last 4 home matches which is a metric that will give backers of the upset some optimism.

Sunderland have actually won 4 of their last 6 trips away. Their defensive prowess lately has been noteworthy. They have conceded no more than once in all of their last 7 away matches. While they are facing a huge challenge there is still some justification for the visitors to come through this test at the big price. Most of these recent wins have been characterised by their confidence in the final third. They've scored at least once in all of their last 10 games. To have the slightest chance they'll need to add to that number. Not many people are expecting them to do that.

Away from the 1X2 there's a uninspiring side bet in the BTTS No market.

The results database shows that The Black Cats have won 3 of the last 5 games between these two.
