Sunderland Draw no Bet<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/8 @ BOYLESports<\/a>
(42.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n\n

Newcastle have been poor defensively this season. They opened the campaign with five clean sheets in their first seven league matches but have not managed another since. Across all competitions they have kept only one clean sheet in nine. They are still dangerous going forward and have scored in 17 games in a row, but their back line remains a major concern.<\/p>\n

Sunderland\u2019s price looks even more surprising when you consider their form. The newly promoted side are enjoying an outstanding season under Regis Le Bris. They sit ninth in the Premier League table, only three points away from the top four, and they have not lost a home match this season. With that record they look far too big at 23\/10. The better option is Sunderland in the draw no bet market at 11\/8 with BOYLESports, which offers strong value given the circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dan Burn to be carded<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/2 @ BOYLESports<\/a>
(28.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n\n

Recent derbies have been chaotic, with three of the last four producing huge card totals (6,2,7,8).  booking markets.<\/p>\n

Dan Burn stands out at 5\/2 as a player to attack in this market. He already has five yellow cards this season as well as a red that came from two more bookings, and he has made 21 appearances. Add in the fact that he is a local Newcastle supporter playing in a heated derby and he becomes an appealing selection.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n
