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.
