Sunderland – Europa League Form and Betting Odds

• Sunderland head into Thursday’s encounter sitting bottom of the Premier League table, having gone seven league matches without victory (D2, L5), although Régis Le Bris’ side have enjoyed a much more encouraging start to their European campaign.
• The Black Cats have collected seven points from their opening three Europa League fixtures (W2, D1), finding the net in every encounter while conceding just twice, with those results leaving Sunderland ninth in the 36-team league-phase standings.
• The Stadium of Light has been Sunderland’s strongest venue this season, with four of their five competitive victories coming on home soil, including their opening Europa League success against AZ Alkmaar, with William Hill pricing the hosts at 4/9 to extend their unbeaten European record.

Dinamo Zagreb – Europa League Form and Betting Odds

• Dinamo Zagreb travel to England following a disappointing domestic defeat against Rudeš, which prompted the departure of manager Mario Kovačević, with caretaker boss Jerko Leko taking charge of a side sitting second in Croatia, four points behind Hajduk Split with a game in hand.
• The Croatian giants have collected four points from their opening three Europa League fixtures (W1, D1, L1), keeping two clean sheets and seeing two of those encounters produce under 2.5 goals, although they conceded four against NEC Nijmegen last time out.
• Dinamo’s away record offers little encouragement, with just one victory from their last eight European trips (D4, L3) and only four points collected from five domestic league away fixtures this season (W1, D1, L3), although the visitors can be backed at 5/1 with William Hill to secure a much-needed win.
