Liverpool – Sunderland : a real test for the Reds 
Liverpool finally stopped the bleeding this weekend with a solid win at West Ham. Now: is it a revival or just a blip? Hosting Sunderland — surprisingly sitting in the European places for now — will give a clearer read. The Black Cats arrive riding momentum and a strong game identity.
Liverpool : a breather… but no guarantees 
Liverpool had been in a worrying downward spiral, but the 2-0 win at the London Stadium lets the whole dressing room breathe. The game turned after Paquetá’s red card, yet the Reds made it count, and Isak finally ended his drought.
Arne Slot made bold calls — notably leaving Salah on the bench — and the team answered with intensity. Anfield’s still a massive weapon: Liverpool keeps beating promoted sides there and now want back on the European train. They’re inconsistent, sure, but this fixture comes when confidence is creeping back and every point matters.
Sunderland : impressive mentality and a clear plan 
Sunderland wrote a slice of history last weekend by turning over Bournemouth after being 2-0 down. Never seen that from them in the Premier League. Under Régis Le Bris the side shows real personality and a reactionary grit that grabs attention. The Black Cats sit in the top six — proof this good start isn’t a fluke.
Their only worry is the away attack, still too timid, but their defensive solidity on the road often compensates. The Anfield test is huge: Sunderland haven’t won there since the 1980s. Still, this team plays without fear and knows how to frustrate opponents.
Football Prediction Liverpool vs Sunderland
Both teams to score
Liverpool has shown signs of life, but they’re still unpredictable and fragile at times. Sunderland play with freedom and have the tools to hurt teams, even in hostile settings. The likeliest script is an open game, with chances at both ends.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot of the moment, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it rarely is. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best policy: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch the money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over, annoying you or putting you under pressure, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis on earth.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s law. Gambling can spiral (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No legal commitment from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Things change
A tip is based on what we know when we write it. In the meantime a lineup (like Liverpool’s) can change, a player can get injured, the weather can turn… and the analysis becomes outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, check that gambling is legal where you live. If it isn’t, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
