What do you think abouth the OVER here, Sunderlands home game usually go OVER as they give up goals, Liverpool probably scores atleast 2.

I was thinking of taking the OVER also. These re-scheduled games always seem to have some kind of surprise to them. Perhaps because teams are not as mentally prepared as they should be. Whatever the reason, I don't think we will see a surprise win by Sunderland so maybe it will be a surprise Total. Most feel that it will be a low-scoring, clean sheet win for Liverpool but I am thinking it we might be in for a 3-1or 4-2kind of match.

Pinnacle is offering OVER 2 and 2.5 at +100 and a OVER 2.5 for +122. This seems to be one of the best lines available for the Total

Something else interesting about this game is that some Sportsbooks are offering lines on Peter Crouch's ability (or lack thereof) to score today. William Hill is offering +200 for 1 Goal Scored, +800 for 2 Goals and +3300 for 3 Goals or More. Crouch has been ripped mercilessly by Liverpool fans and the media for his poor finishing touch and I think it is worth a small wager for him to score 1 Goal as he is PAINFULLY over-due and this could very well be the surprise for this match.

I took the over 2 and 2 1/2 in the Birmingham/Sunderland match last weekend since Sunderland's matches had been going over their last 5. That match ended 1-0.

Liverpool has only scored 5 goals in 6 away matches so I decided to lay off that bet. I still think they can score 2 against Sunderland though.
