Match Preview

The home team’s last game heading into our Bury vs Sunderland betting tips finished 1-0 to Lee Clark’s men, handing them a valuable opening League One victory against a talented Walsall side. Clark anchored Sunderland’s midfield back in the mid-nineties, so he will be keen to get one over his former club.

One win from five pre-season friendlies wasn’t the ideal preparation for the Shakers, however, but they will try to use the EFL Cup to maintain the momentum given to them by their win at the weekend.

Simon Grayson’s Black Cats are still adjusting to life outside of the Premier League and being thrust into this kind of matches will be something of a culture shock. Their 1-1 against Derby on Friday was played out in front of a sparse crowd, who were uninspired by their players' efforts in pre-season, especially their 0-5 mauling at the hands of Scottish Champions Celtic.

Our Bury vs Sunderland predictions below take into account SAFC’s current lack of belief and our free football tips will help you to make money from that absence of confidence.

Bury vs Sunderland Prediction and Betting Advice

33-year-old striker Jermain Beckford got his season off to the perfect start for the Shakers last time out and his performance will play a key part in our Bury vs Sunderland picks. Sunderland have only kept one clean sheet in their last twelve outings, that solitary blank was achieved at Scunthorpe in an exhibition match.

For that reason, our advice is to back BFC to win at a cracking looking price of 5/2 withBetway. Compared to all the other bookmakers, it’s clear that Betway offer the best odds you can find for this selection.
