Best Tip: Both teams to score

Sunderland should have reason to feel positive ahead of this fixture and, funnily enough, so might Stoke. The bookmakers can't split them and neither can we – there's no obvious victor in this clash. So we look to the both teams to score market, where there's far more clarity. The form statistics, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookmakers odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's what we'd recommend too.
