Prediction: 2-0
Swansea
Following a goalless draw with Norwich City, Sunderland will look to return to winning ways in the Championship when they welcome Swansea City to their Stadium of Light on Matchday 42. The Black Cats have been impressive at the back of late and they will continue relying on their solid defence in upcoming fixtures. Fit-again midfielder Enzo Le Fee is pushing for a start following his fine performance in the Carrow Road clash, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Swans, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Derby County and Plymouth. The South Wales outfit, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is the main reason why we are going to bet on the promotion-chasing hosts. With no fresh injury worries to report, Swansea head coach Alan Sheehan is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Pilgrims at the weekend.
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.
