Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
Bournemouth and Sunderland both won in the Europa League on Thursday, 3-0 against Sturm Graz and 2-1 at Torreense, and both of their Premier League meetings last season cleared Over 1.5 goals, 3-2 at Sunderland and 1-1 at Bournemouth. Each side has conceded in four of its last five, and that is what carries the bet.
Liverpool and AZ Alkmaar, the low games in ten
The two runs hold one low game each. Bournemouth lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool on 20 September, and Sunderland beat AZ Alkmaar 1-0 four days earlier. Neither Bournemouth nor Sunderland has had a game that quiet since.
Both defences have shipped five this autumn
Bournemouth went down 5-1 at Chelsea on 10 October and Sunderland lost 5-3 at Manchester City in September, and those are not the only leaks: Bournemouth also drew 2-2 with Brentford and Sunderland lost 2-0 to both Brighton and Arsenal at home. Bournemouth's only clean sheet in five came on Thursday. The forecast is a 1-1 draw, with a 2-1 Bournemouth win the next score in line.
