Match Prediction: Liverpool vs. Sunderland
Arne Slot's side achieved a rare victory in the last round. However, their opponent was relegation-battling West Ham, and the second goal came shortly before the final whistle. Despite having a formidable attack on paper, Liverpool has not shown high scoring prowess this season. In the 2025/26 Premier League, the team has scored more than two goals only twice, both times benefiting from generous added time.
Sunderland ranks in the top six for defensive reliability in the league. The team has conceded just 13 goals, and no team has managed to score more than two goals against Regis Le Bris's side, even though they have faced two of the three highest-scoring teams in the current championship.
Additionally, Liverpool last scored at least three goals against Sunderland in 2013. This is another factor supporting the prediction: Liverpool Individual Total Under 2.5
