Our prediction for this Championship match:
Huddersfield Town will look to make amends for a 5-3 loss to Southampton when they take on Sunderland in the Championship round 32. The Terriers have been involved in some high-scoring games of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Kian Harratt remains on the sidelines through suspension, while all Radinio Balker, Michal Helik, Rhys Healey, Jaheim Headley, Delano Burgzorg, Josh Ruffels, and Oliver Turton remain in the recovery room.
The Blacks Cats, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Plymouth. Given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Earlier in the process Huddersfield Town defeated Sunderland 2-1 at Stadium of Light. All Aji Alese, Bradley Dack, Niall Huggins, Dennis Cirkin, and Corry Evans miss out with injuries for the away team.
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.
