Burnley vs Sunderland Tips

Sunderland's confidence will be sky-high after a positive 3-0 win over West Ham last weekend. Burnley suffered a heavy defeat to Spurs, so I'm backing the visitors on the double chance.

Head to Head

Sunderland have won 48 times against Burnley compared to Burnley's 39 victories. There have also been 34 draws.

Burnley Form

Scott Parker’s Burnley have struggled for form in pre-season and early in the 2025/26 campaign.

The Clarets ended pre-season with three successive defeats. Losses came against Warrington Rylands 3-2, Stoke and Lazio - both 1-0.

The Lancashire outfit’s dip in form continued in the Premier League following a 3-0 loss at Tottenham. Burnley allowed 2.32 XG and had just 33% possession in the one-sided defeat.

Sunderland Form

Sundland managed to bounce back from a five-match winless run in pre-season. The Black Cats ended that streak with a 1-0 away victory against Augsburg.

The Wearside club ended their pre-season preparations with a 3-0 home defeat against Rayo Vallecano.

Regis Le Bris’ outfit hit back with an impressive 3-0 home league win against West Ham on Saturday. Eliezer Mayenda, Dan Ballard and Wilson Isidor scored after half time as Sunderland attempted five shots on target.

Verdict

Burnley v Sunderland

Burnley aren’t in good form and Sunderland will be eager to build Premier League momentum. There is value on a Black Cats double chance bet on Saturday.
