Sunderland vs Arsenal: Match Preview & Prediction

Sunderland

vs

Arsenal

Another important game of the fourth round of the Premier League will take place at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland will host Arsenal.

In their first three games of the season, Sunderland have recorded one win, one draw and one defeat, which has left them sitting comfortably in the middle of the league table. Even a first impression of the team’s performances is enough to suggest that some of last season’s problems remain — namely, poor results away from home, while their performances at home continue to be much stronger.

After their triumph in the previous Premier League campaign, Arsenal have made a strong start to the new season. The London side have managed to beat Coventry City, Aston Villa and Chelsea. While victories over the first two teams were not particularly surprising, beating Chelsea can be considered a significant achievement even for the reigning champions.

After the first two league games, Chelsea looked like a formidable side, and that was confirmed in their head-to-head clash with Arsenal. The victory did not come easily for the Gunners. It was a dramatic contest in which Arsenal also had to come from behind after conceding a goal early in the game.

Sunderland vs Arsenal: Best Odds

Prediction for the Sunderland vs Arsenal

A large amount of statistical data, along with the confidence of the bookmakers, points towards a comfortable away victory. However, I have serious doubts about that outcome.

Sunderland have several factors working in their favour, including their strong home record and the fatigue affecting Arsenal’s players, which appears to have carried over from last season.

Taking all the factors into account, I recommend betting on the double chance: Sunderland or Draw.
