West Brom v Sunderland Tips: Sunderland to win
Victory at Anfield only papered over the cracks, West Brom are team on the slide with only three wins in their last 13 matches.
West Brom take to the field on the back of a famous victory over Liverpool, but don’t let that result cloud your judgement. West Brom were outplayed at Anfield and have Ben Foster to thank for the three points.
If Steven Gerrard had scored his penalty, the Baggies would almost certainly have lost the game and extended their sequence to six losses in seven matches.
After a stunning start to the season, these are testing times for Steve Clarke. His team have taken a meagre 11 points from their last 13 games, which amounts to relegation form.
Sunderland have been inconsistent for much of the season but their form has picked up recently, with five victories in their last 13 games. Sat 13th in the league, Martin O’Neill will be aware his side needs to keep picking up points to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
A Sunderland win is overpriced at 29/10 (BetVictor) against an out of form West Brom side.
