Low confidence

Why the model favours this outcome

Sunderland AFC have scored at a below-average rate at home, which limits the model's home goal expectation. Arsenal FC have defended well on the road, conceding less often than the average travelling side. Sunderland AFC's home defensive record is tighter than the competition average, which suppresses the away goal expectation. Arsenal FC arrive in stronger recent form, which the model weights alongside season-long numbers.
