Deciding factors · 03

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

  1. Home advantage

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Sunderland. It closes the gap but does not erase Bournemouth's extra quality.

    EdgeEven

  2. Expected goals

    With 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is near 50/50 (53% for the over).

    EdgeEven

  3. Quality gap

    Bournemouth rate clearly stronger and the draw is only 26%. If they score first, the game should follow.

Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Sunderland

Sunderland are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession at Stadium of Light, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

Away

AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth are a pragmatic mid-table team: sturdy out of possession on the road at Stadium of Light, but short of the creativity to dictate a game.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Bournemouth field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Sunderland score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
