Sunderland and Stoke City are set to meet in an exciting FA Cup clash on Saturday, 11th January 2025, at 15:00 BST at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland. With both teams eager to progress in the competition, this match promises to be an intriguing encounter. Sunderland will look to leverage their home advantage and recent form, while Stoke City, under pressure to turn their fortunes around, will aim for an upset.
In our Sunderland vs Stoke City betting tips, we focus on Sunderland’s recent strong performances, particularly at home, where they have managed impressive results. Their tactical approach under manager Régis Le Bris has been solid, particularly in attack. Sunderland’s offensive potency, as seen in their recent 2-1 victory over Sheffield United and 1-0 victory over Portsmouth, should see them continue to pose a significant threat to Stoke City.
On the other hand, Stoke City has struggled recently, with only one win from their last five matches. Their offensive difficulties were apparent in their last two outings, that seen them draw 0-0 against Burnley and Plymouth Argyle. However, they have the potential for an upset in knockout competitions, so backing Sunderland to win could offer value, but a bet on both teams to score is also an attractive option given Sunderland’s attacking style and Stoke’s need for a response.
For the Sunderland vs Stoke City prediction, we anticipate a home win for Sunderland. Their strong form at home, coupled with Stoke City’s current struggles, positions them as clear favourites for the match. Sunderland has secured three wins in their last five matches, while Stoke has faced difficulties with only one win in their recent outings.
Moreover, Sunderland’s attacking strength, with ten goals in their last six matches, combined with their solid defensive record, should give them the edge. Stoke’s inability to score regularly, having netted just one goal in their last five matches, will likely hinder their chances of securing a positive result at the Stadium of Light. Our prediction is a Sunderland win, with a final scoreline likely to reflect a competitive but clear home victory.
Match Prediction: Sunderland to win. Bet with bet365.
When considering the Sunderland vs Stoke City score prediction, we foresee Sunderland winning 2-1 or 3-1. Stoke City may find the net due to Sunderland’s occasional defensive lapses, but their overall attacking play and home advantage should be too much for the visitors to overcome.
Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Sunderland. Bet with bet365.
In terms of the Sunderland vs Stoke City Over/Under goals prediction, we favour betting on Over 2.5 goals. Sunderland’s offensive style suggests they will likely score at least two goals in this match, and despite Stoke City’s recent struggles in front of goal, they do have the potential to find the back of the net against a Sunderland side that’s prone to conceding, making Over 2.5 goals a sensible choice.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
For the Sunderland vs Stoke City Bet Builder tip, we recommend backing Sunderland to win and for both teams to score. Given Sunderland’s strong home form and attacking power, combined with Stoke City’s recent struggles but ability to score in key moments, this combination offers a good balance of risk and reward. Additionally, we suggest including an anytime scorer bet on Sunderland’s top attacking threat, such as Wilson Isidor who stands as their top scorer this season with 8 goals netted.
Bet Builder Tip: Sunderland to win, both teams to scorer, and Wilson Isidor to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
