Burnley vs Sunderland prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-08-22 14:00.
[p]Burnley vs Sunderland was a Championship fixture last season, but after one round of the new Premier League campaign, these two newly-promoted sides have endured very different starts to life back in the top flight.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Premier League football returns to Turf Moor for the first time this season with the Clarets looking to bounce back from their 3-0 opening day mauling at the hands of Tottenham. This game represents a much more winnable prospect, but for a Burnley side who only won two home games in the entirety of their last Premier League campaign (D4, L13), improving upon their home form this time around seems paramount to their survival hopes. They had no issues at Turf Moor last season, going a whole Championship campaign unbeaten there (W14, D9) and winning eight of their last nine home league games. [/p]
[p]After a long top-flight lay off that saw them plunge to the depths of League One, Sunderland announced their Premier League return with a 3-0 win against West Ham on opening weekend. Incredibly, only Manchester City were keeping Sunderland off top spot ahead of matchday two, and boss Régis Le Bris will know that the chance to open up a six-point gap to a direct relegation candidate so early in the season could be a huge psychological blow to land. They’ll have to do something they’ve never before done in the Premier League though, and that’s win their opening two games. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sunderland had the edge across two Championship H2Hs last season (W1, D1), but they haven’t won an away league game at Turf Moor since March 2005 (D4, L2 since).[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]A Jaidon Anthony goal could be key to Burnley getting their first points on the board as the Clarets have won on all seven of his scoring appearances for the club.

[p]Burnley’s big-money summer signing Armando Broja missed last weekend’s game at Spurs as he tries to get up to speed for the rigours of Premier League football. Sunderland will again be without long-serving defender Luke O’Nien as he recovers from shoulder surgery. [/p]
