Prediction: 2-0
Derby
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Stadium of Light on Tuesday evening as Sunderland take on Derby County in the Championship round 8. The Black Cats are still seen as one of the main candidates for promotion, but they will have to improve their game if they are to secure a top-two finish. As there are no fresh injury worries in Regis Le Bris’ team, home win should be considered. You should know that Sunderland have won each of their three home fixtures this season.
The Rams, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Sheffield United and Norwich City. As Sunderland do not suit Derby, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion hopefuls. It has to be noted that the Rams have not defeated the Black Cats since February 9, 2002 when the two sides met in the Premier League. The likes of Tom Barkhuizen, Liam Thompson, David Ozoh, and Jake Rooney are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
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.
