Burnley vs Sunderland match review, 9:00 p.m. August 23: Rookies vs. Sunderland

VHO - Commentary on the match Burnley vs Sunderland, round 2 of the Premier League, facing direct competitors, both sides do not want to be the losers.

Burnley vs Sunderland form

After nearly a decade of absence, Sunderland finally won a ticket back to the Premier League. Not wanting to follow in the footsteps of Leicester City, Ipswich Town or Southampton last season, the Black Cats are willing to spend to aim for relegation.

Compared to the other two new recruits, Burnley and Leeds United, Sunderland is the most powerful team in the transfer market. Up to this point, the team at The Light has spent a total of nearly 160 million pounds to bring in more than 1 squad, specifically 11 notable faces.

This formula was applied by Nottingham when they were promoted to the Premier League 3 years ago and has proven to be correct. Last season, the team at City Ground not only eliminated the risk of relegation early, but also almost won a ticket to the prestigious Champions League arena.

Of course, not every massive personnel revolution brings positive effects. But at least Sunderland has reaped sweet fruit from the starting line. Hosting West Ham, the Black Cats are placed on the underdog.

But instead of being outplayed, the home team at The Light stunned their opponents by launching powerful punches in the second half. The resounding 3-0 victory gave coach Regis Le Bris and his team even more confidence heading into their visit to Turf Moor.

Sunderland had an impressive debut

This is a match that both Burnley and Sunderland take very seriously. Because in the context of playing as new recruits in the Premier League, both are in the high-risk group of relegation. Therefore, each point against a direct competitor will be more meaningful.

In contrast to the impressive preparation and high spirits of the visitors, Burnley are sinking into anxiety. In the opening match, coach Scott Parker and his team were defeated by Tottenham 3-0. The result seemed to signal that the road ahead for the Lancashire team will be full of thorns.

It was Burnley's fourth consecutive defeat, including three defeats in matches against Lazio, Stoke City and the unknown Warrington Rylands. Despite spending nearly 100 million pounds, the faces arriving at Turf Moor are not too outstanding.

Last season, Burnley failed to win in both of their Championship encounters with Sunderland. The Clarets lost the first leg away from home 0-1, while the return leg saw the two teams draw goalless.
