Sunderland scored an average of 0.6 goals and conceded 1.2, while Crystal Palace scored 0.4 and conceded 1.2. In terms of over 2.5 goals: only 1 out of 5 matches for both teams ended with three or more goals; the other 4 out of 5 were under. In the first half, neither team had a match with more than 1.5 goals, while in the second half, Sunderland had 1 out of 5 matches over 1.5, and Crystal Palace had 2 out of 5. Regarding goal timing, Sunderland most often scores between 16-30 minutes (50%) and concedes between 46 and 60 minutes (50%). Crystal Palace most frequently scores in two intervals: 31-45 and 61-75 minutes (40% each), and concedes late (76-90 minutes - 67%). These data suggest a low attacking potential for both sides and a strong trend towards under in total goals. Given the under 2.5 goals in 4 out of the last 5 matches for both teams and their average goal stats, betting on under 2.5 goals seems a logical choice.

Considering the average values for both teams and the frequency of over 9.5 total, a bet on over 8.5 corners seems justified, but without a clear bias towards one side.
