Sunderland v Crystal Palace
Saturday 3:00pm BST
The David Moyes way of keeping it tight early sees this game as the ideal Half-Time Draw opportunity and we’ll take the 2.10 with Bet365.
David Moyes is still looking for his first win as Sunderland manager with only 1 point so far this season. Palace have made a recovery of sorts with wins over Boro and Stoke to get them into mid-table.
We’ve got a sample of 6 matches to work with for these 2 clubs which is not big. The results – Sunderland 2, Drawn 2, Palace 2 which is about right for 2 normally bottom-half sides.
3 of the last 4 have had 4 goals or more, again likely an indication of their defensive deficiencies.
Only 1 match in 6 has had an early goal (<30 minutes) and a first half goal in just 3 of the matches over the same period, might be tight first half. Check out Football Advisor for profitable betting predictions
