Our betting prediction for Liverpool vs Sunderland
Main Tip: HT/FT – Liverpool/Liverpool
Our principal betting prediction for this fixture is a home lead at halftime and win at fultime for Liverpool FC. Despite Liverpool’s inconsistency — reflected in a mixed sequence of results with two wins and three defeats in their last five matches across all competitions — several contextual factors point to a Liverpool victory at Anfield. First, home advantage at Anfield remains significant; Liverpool’s attacking personnel have produced 20 goals this season and Arne Slot’s system typically favours forward momentum and sustained pressure in front of their supporters. Second, Sunderland’s away form has been uneven: while their overall league placing is marginally superior, they have recorded only two victories on the road and have conceded goals at a rate that Liverpool can exploit. Finally, momentum from Liverpool’s most recent away 2:0 win at West Ham underlines their capacity to respond positively following setbacks.
For bettors seeking value on the HT/FT Liverpool market, the best available odds for a Liverpool victory are currently listed at Betway with an odd of 1.78. As a complementary short-range selection, our fourth prediction — the correct score — anticipates a 2:1 home victory for Liverpool, reflecting an expectation of an open match in which both teams create chances. The 2:1 forecast balances Liverpool’s home attacking threat with Sunderland’s proven ability to score, as seen in their more optimistic defensive record relative to some mid-table rivals.
Tip 2: Both teams score? Yes
The second betting tip is that both teams will score. Sunderland have shown resilience and an ability to penetrate opposition defences this season, registering 17 goals overall and producing attacking returns even in away fixtures. Liverpool, despite occasional defensive lapses that have led to six defeats, have continued to generate scoring opportunities and maintain an average goals-per-game ratio that supports the likelihood of them finding the net. Recent head-to-head history and the 2:2 result in the last meeting further reinforce the plausibility of goals at both ends. Consequently, a Both Teams to Score (Yes) wager is a logical addition to the main bet in a match where defensive fragility and attacking intent are both present. The best odd on this market is available at Paripesa, where Both Teams to Score — Yes is priced at 1.85.

Tip 3: Over 3.5 goals
The third betting prediction concerns total goals: we project Over 3.5 goals in the contest. Several indicators support an expectation of a high-scoring encounter. Liverpool’s tactical emphasis under Arne Slot tends to favor forward transitions and quick attacking sequences, which can open matches up and expose defensive vulnerabilities. Sunderland have likewise demonstrated an ability to score consistently this season, and their recent home victory by a narrow margin highlights both attacking proficiency and defensive exposure. The combination of Liverpool’s home attacking impetus and Sunderland’s counter-attacking threat suggests a match with multiple goal-scoring opportunities. Accordingly, Over 3.5 goals presents itself as an appealing market for punters seeking a higher-yield outcome. Note: the dataset provided lists the Over/Under selection as Over 3.5 goals; specific odds for this market were not provided in the material made available.
Statistics for Liverpool FC vs Sunderland AFC
Liverpool FC team news!
Manager: Arne Slot. Liverpool enter this fixture with a mixed run of form — two wins and three defeats in their last five matches across all competitions — and a level goal difference (20:20) which reflects a team capable of scoring but vulnerable at the back. At Anfield, Liverpool have collected four of their seven victories this season and will rely on the home support and Arne Slot’s tactical adaptability to press high, create overloads in wide areas and exploit transitional moments. Any selection decisions will need to balance attacking impetus with greater defensive organisation if Liverpool are to convert their home advantage into three points.
Sunderland AFC team news!
Manager: Régis Le Bris. Sunderland have enjoyed a relatively consistent spell, recording two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five outings and occupying sixth position in the league. Their defensive record (13 conceded) is respectable, and their away form, though less convincing than their home results, includes sufficient attacking promise to trouble opponents. Régis Le Bris is likely to set Sunderland up to be compact without the ball and incisive in transition, looking to exploit any spaces left by a Liverpool side that may commit men forward. The visitors’ recent 3:2 home win demonstrates both attacking quality and some susceptibility at the back.
H2H statistics
Across the last five meetings between Liverpool and Sunderland in all competitions, Liverpool have secured three wins while the other two matches ended in draws; Sunderland have not won in those five encounters. The most recent direct tie finished 2:2, indicating that even when Liverpool have the upper hand historically the matches can be competitive and goal-rich.
Last results Liverpool FC
In their last five matches across all competitions Liverpool have recorded 2 wins and 3 defeats. The current form suggests a side capable of strong performances but also liable to inconsistency; for bettors and observers this underlines the need to account for both their offensive potential and intermittent defensive frailty.
Last results Sunderland AFC
Sunderland’s last five matches in all competitions have produced 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. This run indicates relative consistency and competitive resilience, with the team demonstrating the ability to secure results both at home and on the road, albeit with occasional defensive concessions.
