Prediction: 2-0
Cardiff
Sunday’s football game between Sunderland and Cardiff City will bring down the curtain on day 8 of the new Championship campaign. The Black Cats are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be pacey winger Jack Clarke, who scored a brace in a 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday evening, while all Rusyn, Cirkin, Ekwah, Matete, Alese, Evans, and Stewart should miss out with injuries.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Swansea and Coventry. Cardiff City, though, often struggle on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the Black Cats. Both Callum ODowda and Josh Bowler are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Bradley Dack):
Born in Greenwich, England on December 31, 1993, Bradley Dack is a midfielder who plays for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Bradley Dack began his youth career at Charlton Athletic back in 2005 and five years later he moved to Corinthian. However, the English footballer started his senior career at Gillingham, making his league debut against Bradford City on August 18, 2012. 20 days later he scored his first senior goal as he found the net in Football League trophy clash against Crawley Town.
Before joining Blackburn Rovers on June 27, 2017 Bradley Dack played four games on loan for Braintree Town, scoring one goal in those league games. His main position is attacking midfielder, but he is used as both right and left midfielder as well. Dack once described himself as “free role behind two strikers”.
The Blackburn Rovers midfielder often finds the net and it has to be noted that he scored 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Riversiders in the 2017/2018 League One campaign.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
