(27.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nA draw is highly probable given the statistical parity and Sunderland’s tendency for stalemates. As of 02\/01\/2026, Sunderland has drawn eight of their 19 Premier League matches, demonstrating a high propensity for shared points . Tottenham’s home record is modest, and their 1.5 goals scored per game is closely matched by the 1.28 goals conceded . Furthermore, Sunderland’s robust away defence, conceding only 0.6 goals per match , points towards a tight, low-scoring contest ending in a parity.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
