Prediction: 2-0
Hull City
Following a heart-breaking loss to Leeds United, Sunderland will look to stay in the promotion race when they host Hull City to their Stadium of Light this weekend. The Black Cats conceded two late goals at Elland Road, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. Sunderland are undefeated on home soil and it is no wonder the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Saturday’s game.
The likes of Niall Huggins, Jayden Danns, Ajibola Alese, and Tom Watson should miss out with injuries for the home team. The Tigers, on the other hand, are desperate to escape the danger zone. Hull City, though, have been struggling to find their best form, losing to both Stoke and Burnley, while sharing the spoils with Norwich. Therefore, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing hosts. All Lincoln, Belloumi, Palmer, and Millar miss out 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.
