The match that could have a strong impact on the middle part of the Premier League table will take place at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland will host Crystal Palace.

Sunderland’s recent run of poor results has pushed them down to 10th place in the league. The team traditionally looks solid in defense, but their attacking performance leaves much to be desired. In their last five league games, Sunderland have scored only two goals, and in Round 21 they suffered a heavy 3–0 away defeat against Brentford.

Crystal Palace are in an even worse situation. The Eagles have lost four of their last six matches, drawing the other two, which leaves them in 13th place in the Premier League standings. However, in the previous round Palace managed to take points away from Aston Villa, who are currently sitting third in the table — a result that can be seen as a real achievement.

Prediction for the Sunderland vs Crystal Palace

Everything suggests this match will be rather dull, as both teams struggle to create chances in attack. But the quality of football is not our main concern — we are focused on the final result. It is very likely that there will not be many goals on the scoreboard after the final whistle, if any at all. That’s why the best option here looks to be Under 2.5 goals.
