20th in the Premier League, 4 points from 7 games

Sunderland lost 2-0 at Bournemouth on Sunday, a result that drops them to 20th on 4 points from 7 games. The defeat extends their winless run to 5 league games. Our main pick for the game, Bournemouth on the Draw No Bet market, landed. Sunderland have now lost 4 of their last 5 league matches, with their only win this season coming at home.
The club's away form is a concern, with no wins in 4 games and only 1 point picked up on the road. At home, they have 3 points from 3 matches. Sunderland's expected points of 8.5, compared to their actual 4, suggests they are underperforming. They have scored an average of 0.9 goals per game and conceded 2.0 goals per game, which is a significant deficit to address.
