Sunderland on top, and Brian Brobbey getting plenty of shots away.
Sunderland go into this Europa League match as strong favourites on our numbers: 72% to win, against 10% for Jagiellonia Bialystok and 18% for a draw. If you want one score, our predicted score is Sunderland 2–0 Jagiellonia Bialystok, at 12%. We expect 3.1 goals in total: 2.4 for Sunderland and 0.8 for Jagiellonia Bialystok. There is a 49% chance both sides score and three or more goals is 61%.
Of the players, Brian Brobbey (Sunderland) tops both our lists, with 2.5 shots and 0.9 on target expected if they start. Daniel Ballard of Sunderland is the most booked player in either squad, once every 3 games in 2026/27. We expect Sunderland to have 19.0 shots (3.9 on target) and Jagiellonia Bialystok 9.7 (3.9 on target), and corners at 6.3 to 3.2. That points to Sunderland doing more of the attacking.
Sunderland come in with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six. Jagiellonia Bialystok have four wins, no draws and two defeats over the same run. Bawler's pick combines Sunderland or Draw, Sunderland Over 14.5 Shots and Brian Brobbey 2+ Shots. We make the chance of all three coming in 52%, a fair price of 10/11 (1.93).
