Burnley vs Sunderland Odds

Date: 23/08/25
Kick-off time: 15:00
Venue: Turf Moor

Turf Moor is the stage this Saturday, and it’s Burnley up against Sunderland in what promises to be a spicy Premier League clash. Burnley’s home form has been nothing short of outstanding, but Sunderland are bouncing into this one fresh off a confidence-boosting win. So, who’s coming out on top this weekend? Let’s break it down.

Burnley vs Sunderland Team News

Burnley

Scott Parker’s side were humbled 3-0 at Tottenham last week, so they’ll be desperate to bounce back in front of their own fans. The big issue? Injuries. Bashir Humphreys (thigh), Zeki Amdouni (cruciate ligament), and Benson Manuel (Achilles) are all ruled out.

That said, Burnley still have plenty of firepower. Expect Martin Dubravka to start in goal, with Walker, Estève, Ekdal, and Hartman across the back line. Cullen and Ugochukwu should anchor midfield, while Marcus Edwards, Hannibal Mejbri, and Jaidon Anthony look set to support Lyle Foster up top.

And don’t forget – Turf Moor has been a fortress. Burnley are unbeaten in their last 23 home league games. That’s a stat that screams confidence.

Sunderland

Régis Le Bris has an even longer injury list to juggle. Romaine Mundle, Leo Hjelde, Dennis Cirkin, Niall Huggins, Nordi Mukiele, Luke O’Nien, and Aji Alese are all sidelined. That’s seven first-team options unavailable – brutal, right?

Still, Sunderland are coming off a brilliant 3-0 win against West Ham, with Mayenda, Ballard, and Wilson Isidor all on the scoresheet. Their likely lineup? Roefs in goal; Hume, Alderete, Ballard, and Mandava at the back; Diarra, Sadiki, and Xhaka in midfield; and Talbi, Mayenda, and Adingra leading the attack.

The big worry for them is away form. They haven’t won on the road in their last three league matches, and Turf Moor hasn’t exactly been welcoming – no wins in six attempts.

Likely Lineups

Burnley: Dubravka; Walker, Estève, Ekdal, Hartman; Ugochukwu, Cullen; Edwards, Mejbri, Anthony; Foster
Sunderland: Roefs; Hume, Alderete, Ballard, Mandava; Diarra, Sadiki, Xhaka; Talbi, Mayenda, Adingra

Burnley vs Sunderland Betting Tips

Here’s what I think… this game has goals written on it. Both defenses are patchy right now, and both have attacking players who can do damage.

• Burnley to win & over 2.5 goals – Turf Moor is still one of the hardest places to visit.
• Both teams to score – yes – Burnley concede too often, Sunderland have found their scoring touch.
• Anytime goalscorer: Lyle Foster – The South African is key to Burnley’s attack.
• Over 10 corners – Burnley’s style at home piles on pressure and usually racks up set-pieces.

Burnley vs Sunderland Match Prediction

This feels like a proper Premier League scrap. Burnley are going to push Sunderland deep, especially with the crowd behind them. Sunderland will look dangerous on the counter, especially with Mayenda’s pace, but the injuries and poor away form might cost them.

Over 90 minutes, Burnley’s home strength should shine through. Sunderland could get one, but Burnley should edge it.

Match Prediction: Burnley to win. Bet with bet365.

Burnley vs Sunderland Correct Score Tips & Prediction

I’m leaning towards a 2-1 Burnley win. Sunderland will have their moments, but Turf Moor has been a nightmare for visiting sides.

Correct Score Prediction: Burnley 2-1 Sunderland. Bet with bet365.

Burnley vs Sunderland Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

The numbers point towards goals. Burnley have conceded in five of their last six games, and Sunderland have also leaked plenty. A cagey 0-0 like the last time these two met feels unlikely with how open they’ve both been.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
