Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

  2. Expected goals

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Brighton

    Brighton rate clearly higher and the draw is only 18%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton are well drilled and have enough quality up front to punish mistakes at American Express Stadium. Everything they do starts with control of midfield.

Away

Sunderland

Sunderland are a practical mid-table side: solid without the ball on their trip to American Express Stadium, but lacking the creativity to run a game.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Brighton name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Sunderland score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
