Villa to End Winless Run with Three Points at Stadium of Light?

Sunderland have caught the eye with a few fine performances in the top tier. Naturally, last term’s second-tier play-off winners were tipped for relegation before a ball was kicked, but Regis Le Bris’ boys have taken seven points from their opening four matches.

Since a 2-0 loss to Burnley at Turf Moor, Sunderland have won one and drawn one. They beat Brentford 2-1 at the Stadium of Light before battling to a 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

By their high standards, Aston Villa have made a poor start to their campaign. The Villans have failed to win any of their opening four, losing two and drawing two.

After back-to-back EPL losses to Brentford and Palace, Unai Emery’s men picked up a solid draw at Everton last Saturday. However, they were beaten at Brentford in the EFL Cup in midweek. Villa want their first Premier League win of the season sooner rather than later.

Sunderland vs Aston Villa Betting Odds

Despite being on home soil and the form team, Sunderland are the underdogs with the bookies. The Black Cats are available at 3.60 to secure a third straight Premier League win at the Stadium of Light.
