Match Time & Date:

07:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Sunderland
There will be fireworks when Peterborough and Sunderland square off against each other in the League One derby on Matchday 40. Following a thrilling 7-0 win over Accrington, the Posh defeated Fleetwood on Friday thanks to Jonson Clarke-Harris’ late goal from the free kick. Peterborough are brimming with confidence ahead of Monday’s derby, but beating Sunderland is easier said than done.
The Black Cats have been impressive in the second half of the season, and, no doubt, they are determined to secure automatic promotion to the Championship. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Weston Homes Stadium, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. Siriki Dembele is rated doubtful for the hosts, while All Bailey Wright, Jordan Willis, and Tom Flanagan remain sidelined for the visitors. Denver Hume is a major doubt, and he will be assessed on the match day.

Highlighted Team (Sunderland):
Sunderland are a professional football club that have been playing their home games at the Stadium of Light since 1997. The capacity of the stadium is 49,000, but before expansion the original ground capacity was 42,000. Red and White shirts are Sunderland’s trademark and the club’s fiercest rivals are Newcastle United. The two local rivals have been contesting in the Tyne-Wear derby since 1898 and there have always been fireworks in what is one of the greatest derbies in English football. Sunderland were on the verge of dropping to the Championship in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign, but experienced tactician Sam Allardyce eventually helped the team avoid relegation.
The Black Cats have won six First Division trophies (now the Premier League), with the team lifting two FA Cup titles. Sunderland won their first FA Cup trophy in 1937, with the team beating Preston North End 3-1 in the title game. The club was founded in 1879 as Sunderland and District Teachers A.F.C.
