Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson backs a clean-sheet away win.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Wilson Isidor to score anytime1/1 (bet365)Wilson Isidor leads the Sunderland line and should fancy his chances against a Torreense side stepping up in class on their European adventure. The Black Cats opened with a clean-sheet win over AZ and carry far more quality than their Portuguese hosts, who needed a 2-1 win at Lillestrom to get going. Isidor is a mobile, clinical forward who should get on the end of the chances a dominant Sunderland create at the Estadio Dr. Magalhaes Pessoa. At even money to score anytime, the striker is the soundest attacking pick on the night.
Granit Xhaka to be shown a card9/2 (bet365)Granit Xhaka has picked up two bookings in six Premier League appearances this season, and he sits at the heart of a Sunderland midfield that will face plenty of energy from Torreense. The Portuguese side won 2-1 at Lillestrom on matchday one and will have their own fans behind them in their first home game in the competition. bet365 offer 9/2 on Xhaka picking up a card, roughly double the price available elsewhere, and that makes him our card pick.
