Sunderland vs Fulham Bet Builder

Ladbrokes share their Sunderland vs Fulham Bet Builder, which is coming in at 29/4.

• Leg 1 - Brian Brobbey to have 1+ shots on target

• Leg 2 - Gonzalo Garcia to have 1+ shots on target

• Leg 3 - Over 1.5 goals to be scored

• Leg 4 - Match to end in a draw

Brian Brobbey to have 1+ shots on target

Despite drawing a blank against Ipswich, Brian Brobbey remained one of Sunderland's key threats with a shot on target at Portman Road and the Dutch striker should lead the line once again. Brobbey hit the target at a rate of 0.8 times per 90 minutes last season and, with a full season in England now under his belt, he'll be hoping to add to his seven league goals this time around.

Gonzalo Garcia to have 1+ shots on target

Gonzalo Garcia's goal on his Premier League debut gave Fulham a reason to be optimistic despite their 3-2 loss to Chelsea, showing sharp instincts to follow up on a spilled shot to head home. The Whites had much less of the ball on Monday night but still produced plenty of chances, and there should be plenty more opportunities for the former Real Madrid youngster to test the keeper at the Stadium of Light.

Over 1.5 goals to be scored

There was a combined eight goals across their respective opening-weekend games and this games looks another potentially entertaining game on Sunday. Four of the last six meetings between these two have seen over 1.5 goals scored, with this exact fixture last year yielding four goals in a 3-1 win for Fulham. As a result, at least two goals here seems very plausible.

Match to end in a draw

Finally, we're backing this game to end in a draw as both teams get their first Premier League points of the season. Both teams were arguably unlucky to lose their first games but their defeats also exposed some of their flaws, and we are struggling to choose between these two, so our experts are going with a draw in this game.
