Burnley vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting tips
Sunderland has fallen further and further on the English football scene in recent years. On Wednesday evening, football fans will again have the opportunity to see Sunderland in action against a Premier League team, as it will play an away match in the Carabao Cup on Turf Moor against Burnley.
Burnley:
Burnley once won the FA Cup more than a hundred years ago, in 1914, and otherwise, Cup success was always a failure for Burnley. The club was founded in 1882 and was twice crowned English national champion in the last century, but can no longer compete with major powers such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Nevertheless, Burnley has of course turned out to be an asset to the Premier League in recent years, as The Clarets can make it difficult for everyone. Enough has been said and written about Sean Dyche’s playing methods in recent years, but the fact remains that Dyche is doing well at Burnley with his playing style.
After three matches, Burnley is in sixth place in the Premier League and that is also a major achievement for the Dyche men. After Burnley beat Southampton 3-0 in the opening play round, Arsenal lost 2-1 a week later and last Sunday The Clarets grabbed a point to visit Wolverhampton Wanderers: 1-1. Early in the game, Ashley had given Barnes Burnley a 0-1 lead, but The Clarets still had to take the tying run from eleven meters in the final phase.
Sunderland:
No club in the Championship, the League One or the League Two is missed in the Premier League as much as Sunderland. The Black Cats finished last in the Premier League in the 2016-2017 season and therefore relegated to the Championship. It was expected that Sunderland would return to the Premier League after one year, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Sunderland also finished last in the Championship that season, relegated to League One and saw a Championship ticket beaten through in the final phase of the play-offs.
The Stadium of Light is also packed every two weeks in the League One, but of course Sunderland is not supposed to act on the third level of England. Certainly not with such supporters. The same also applies, for example, to an Ipswich Town, but that club also plays in the League One and that shows that the differences in England are minimal. Sunderland is currently in the lead of the League One with Ipswich Town, Blackpool, Wycombe Wanderers and Coventry City with eleven points after five games. The Black Cats are still undefeated this season and won 3-1 against AFC Wimbledon last weekend. Despite all the setbacks at Sunderland in recent years, The Black Cats still have some great players at their disposal. Jon McLaughlin, Scottish international, plays in the Stadium of Light, but it is not true that the top players Sunderland have remained loyal. However, for League One concepts, The Black Cats have a good selection.
