Bournemouth to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/6 @ Matchbook<\/a>
(54.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe’re backing Bournemouth to win because they have outscored Sunderland by 15 goals this season, boast a higher xG (38.3 vs 28.9), and create more big chances. Their attacking threat at home should tell against a Sunderland side that struggles to convert opportunities.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n21\/20 @ AK Bets<\/a>
(48.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value in the unders, with Sunderland conceding just 33 in 27 games and Bournemouth\u2019s last head-to-head settled by a single goal. Both teams have combined for 15 draws this season, often in low-scoring affairs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
