Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Maybe it'd be too strong to say that we expect Scott Parker and Régis Le Bris to got all-out defensive here, but we're certainly not expecting a deluge of goals as Burnley and Sunderland go head-to-head. The stats belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that looks like a strong prediction. With best odds of 1.50 available on under 2.5 goals and no obvious match winner in sight, that's the bet we're recommending.
