Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 2-0
Birmingham City
Stadium of Light will host Saturday’s football game between Sunderland and Birmingham City. The Black Cats aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cardiff City, and they are seen as favourites to beat the Sky Blues on home soil. Pierre Ekwah should drop to the bench after failing to impress in Monday’s triumph, while all Huggins, Bennette, Ballard, Alese, Evans, Stewart, and Embleton should miss out with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, are safe for now, with the team sitting in 17th place, nine points clear of the relegation zone. Considering that this has to go down as a must-win game for Sunderland, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Sunderland, but all Campbell, Deeney, Gardner, Sanderson, and Williams continue to miss out.
