Sunderland<\/a> host Liverpool<\/a> at the Stadium of Light in a clash that pits one of the league\u2019s most resilient defences against a Liverpool side boasting some of the highest attacking numbers in the Premier League<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams are still in the hunt for European places, and with just three points separating them in the table, there\u2019s plenty at stake. Kick-off is at 20:15 on Wednesday 11 February, and both sides will be desperate to take advantage of their rivals\u2019 slip-ups in the race for the top six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Liverpool\u2019s attacking firepower and Sunderland\u2019s defensive solidity, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We\u2019re particularly confident in Liverpool to win, given their huge advantage in possession and chance creation, but Sunderland\u2019s record for low-scoring games makes the total goals market intriguing as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liverpool to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n8\/11 @ Spreadex<\/a>
(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe\u2019re backing Liverpool to win because they lead the league for attacking stats: 387 shots and 40 goals so far, with Hugo Ekitike in clinical form. Sunderland struggle to control possession (44%) and concede more chances than they create, which could be exposed by Liverpool\u2019s pressing and ball retention.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Spreadex<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Liverpool\u2019s attacking volume (averaging over 15 shots per game) and both teams\u2019 tendency to get involved in open games. Sunderland\u2019s attack is less prolific but they have scored in 9 of their last 12, while Liverpool have kept just 7 clean sheets. Both may contribute to a higher total.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
