Recent form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent form shows promising signs, particularly in competitive matches. They've started their Championship campaign strongly, sitting in 2nd position with 6 points from 2 games, including an impressive 4-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in their latest match. This high-scoring game stands out as their most dominant performance in the recent list. The team has demonstrated defensive solidity in their league matches, keeping clean sheets in both games. However, their form has been somewhat inconsistent across all competitions, with a W-L-W pattern in their last three competitive matches. Their goal-scoring record is notable, averaging 1.67 goals per game over the last six matches, while conceding an average of just 1 goal per game. The team's ability to keep clean sheets (3 in 6 games) is a positive sign for their defensive capabilities.

Burnley

Burnley's recent form shows a remarkable turnaround, with the team currently sitting at the top of the Championship after two impressive victories. Their last two matches have been particularly high-scoring, with a 4-1 away win against Luton Town and a resounding 5-0 home victory over Cardiff City, demonstrating their offensive prowess. This represents a significant improvement from their previous three-game losing streak in the Premier League, where they conceded 8 goals in those matches. The team's goal-scoring ability is evident, averaging 2.17 goals per game over the last six matches, while their defense has improved with a clean sheet in their most recent game. The high percentage of matches (83%) where both teams scored and where over 2.5 goals were scored indicates that Burnley's games tend to be action-packed and high-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent home form presents an intriguing mix of results, with a notable improvement in their latest match. The team has shown impressive scoring ability in their last two home games, netting 9 goals while conceding none, including a high-scoring 5-0 victory against South Shields in a friendly. However, prior to this, they experienced a challenging period with back-to-back losses against Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall, failing to score in both matches. This suggests a significant turnaround in their offensive capabilities. The team has managed three clean sheets in their last six home games, highlighting a solid defensive foundation. With an average of 2.67 total goals per game and a 50-50 split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, Sunderland's home games offer an entertaining balance of defensive stability and attacking flair.

Burnley

Burnley's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing both promise and inconsistency. In their last six away matches, they've managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating a balanced but unpredictable performance. Notably, their goal-scoring prowess is evident, with an impressive average of 1.83 goals per game, including two high-scoring 4-1 victories against Luton Town and Sheffield United. However, their defense has been somewhat porous, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches and conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. The team's ability to score and concede regularly is reflected in the fact that both teams scored in 83% of these games, making for exciting, high-scoring encounters with an average of 3 total goals per match.
