Main Tip: Arsenal Win – Tip 2
Arsenal FC are the clear favourites to take victory in Sunderland’s Stadium of Light. Arsenal’s superior points total (25) and overall consistency — eight wins, one draw and a single defeat so far — mark them out as the side most likely to secure three points. Their away record (4 wins, 0 draws, 1 defeat) shows they are comfortable on the road, while Sunderland’s excellent home form must be balanced against a more modest goalscoring return (12 goals in 10 matches). Given Arsenal’s recent five-match winning streak across all competitions and the historical dominance in head-to-head encounters (four wins and one draw for Arsenal in the last five meetings), the most probable outcome is an away win for Arsenal.

Betting Tip 2:Both teams score? No
Despite Sunderland’s solidity at home, Arsenal have conceded only three goals in the league so far, suggesting they remain robust defensively. Sunderland’s strength has been organisation and pragmatic play rather than prolific scoring away from home; Arsenal’s defensive record combined with their capacity to control matches implies a higher chance that Sunderland will be restricted to few clear opportunities. This prediction aligns with a tighter, low-goal affair rather than an open, high-scoring contest. Best available odd on the both teams toscore – No market is 1.60 on Paripesa.

Betting Tip 3: Under 3.5 goals
The formlines and defensive numbers suggest a match that is more likely to produce a low total than a goal glut. Sunderland have conceded only eight goals in ten matches and remain unbeaten at home; Arsenal, for all their attacking potency, have conceded just three times across the season. The combination of Sunderland’s structured defensive approach under Régis Le Bris and Arsenal’s pragmatic game management under Mikel Arteta makes Under 3.5 a realistic selection.

Conclusion
On balance, Arsenal are the favourites for this fixture. Their superior points tally, stronger recent run of form (five consecutive wins), favourable head-to-head record and effective away performances position them as the side most likely to secure victory. Sunderland’s unbeaten home record and compact defensive profile, however, indicate that this will not be an easy match for the visitors and increases the probability of a narrow Arsenal win rather than a high-scoring rout. Our consolidated view: an Arsenal victory by a single goal is the most plausible outcome, both teams to score ? No and Under 3.5 Goals.
