Prediction: 1-0
Sunderland
Cardiff City will be aiming to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Swansea City when they take on Sunderland in the Championship round 39. The Bluebirds are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home, but Friday’s match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Jak Alnwick and Kion Etete are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Sunderland, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing six of their last seven league matches. Given their four-game losing run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the South Wales outfit. Jenson Seelt is a long-term absentee, while Friday’s clash comes too early for Patrick Roberts. Jack Clarke is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Both Corry Evans and Aji Alese should be fit for the match.
Highlighted Player (Ebou Adams):
After spending his youth career at Orpington and Dartford, Ebou Adams made his debut for the Dartford senior team on April 26, 2014, in a 3-1 loss to Nuneaton Town. Born in Greenwich, England on January 15, 1996, Ebou Adams is a midfielder who played for the likes of Walton Casuals (loan), Norwich City, Braintree Town (loan), Shrewsbury Town (loan), Leyton Orient (loan), and Ebbsfleet Town as well before joining Forest Green Rovers.
He signed a two-year deal with the Green Army on June 18, 2019, making his debut with the club on August 10, 2019, in a 1-1 draw with Walsall. The footballer of Gambian descent debuted for the Gambia national team against Morocco B in November 2017.
His primary position is central midfield, but he is often used as a defensive midfielder. Ebou Adams has dual citizenship (England/Gambia), and he wears the number 14 shirt at Forest Green.
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.
