Prediction: 0-1
Sunderland
Ashton Gate Stadium will be the centre of attention when Bristol City and Sunderland lock horns in the Championship round 43. The Robins shared the spoils with Queens Park Rangers at the weekend, but it has to be noted that they had no more than five goal attempts in the Loftus Road clash. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Ayman Benarous and Luke McNally remain in the recovery room.
The Black Cats, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Swansea City. As Sunderland failed to turn their dominance into goals against the South Wales outfit, away win should be considered this time out. Talented forward Eliezer Mayenda is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while the likes of Alese, Ballard, Danns, Huggins, Poveda, and Seelt remain on the sidelines with injuries.
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.
