Prediction: 1-1
Blackburn Rovers
Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers take on each other at Stadium of Light in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The Black Cats aim to build on a 2-0 win over Cardiff City, but they have little to play for in the season finale as they are 13 points behind the playoffs berth. Barring any fresh injury worries, Mike Dodds is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Bluebirds.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Ipswich Town. Blackburn Rovers are only four points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Monday’s clash is of big importance for the visiting side. Beating Sunderland and Stadium of Light, though, is easier said than done and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Arnor Sigurdsson remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury, with all John Buckley, Harry Leonard, and John Fleck missing out as well.
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.
