Sunderland vs Burnley: match statistics
Sunderland displays significantly better form in home matches, boasting a 55% win rate and remaining undefeated at their stadium this season. The hosts maintain a positive goal difference at home (+9), whereas Burnley away concedes an average of 2.45 goals per game and has a disastrous -14 goal difference. The visitors have won only 9% of their away matches and have failed to keep a single clean sheet, which, combined with Sunderland's solid home defense (36% clean sheets), gives the hosts a clear advantage. The recent form of both teams over the last five matches is similar, but Sunderland's home dominance coupled with Burnley's away frailty (73% losses) decisively tips the scales in favor of the hosts. xG statistics further confirm Sunderland's edge, as they create more chances and defend more effectively on their home ground.
