Sunderland vs West Bromwich Albion Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

Both of these teams have become incredibly tough to break down in recent times, earning a reputation as two of the most stubborn sides in England’s second division, and as a result, we predict a fierce battle where goals could be in short supply.

Despite boasting one of the toughest defenses in the Championship with just 12 goals conceded, Sunderland's failure to pick up wins in their last pair of matches can be attributed to defensive errors, having thrown away a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw against Coventry before conceding a last-minute equalizer to Millwall over the weekend.

Playing at home, the Black Cats have been in stellar form this season, with their defense shining as they’ve kept five visiting teams off the scoreboard in their first seven home matches, and they’ll aim to disrupt another challenger with their tough defensive posture.

Similar to the hosts on Tuesday, West Bromwich Albion have established themselves as a hard team to break down, going unbeaten in eight straight second-tier matches, but astonishingly, seven of those resulted in draws, with the latest deadlock coming this weekend in a 2-2 result at Norwich City.

With only 11 goals conceded in their 16 league outings so far, the Baggies sit as the third least breached defense in the league, while also boasting a remarkable record of shutouts in half of their matches during their an active eight-game unbeaten run.

Their most recent clash was decided by a lone goal, and with both teams playing with exceptional caution at the back while holding some of the strongest defensive records, we foresee another tight contest where a solitary goal could ultimately separate the sides.
