Prediction: 1-1
Sheffield United
Wednesday’s clash between Sunderland and Sheffield United will bring down the curtain on day 25 of the new Championship campaign. The Black Cats aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Stoke City and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in the midweek derby. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, but all Abdul Samed, Abdullahi, Ballard, Browne, Huggins, Mundle, and Watson continue to miss out with injuries.
The Blades, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion. Sheffield United have been producing fine performances on the road of late. As Chris Wilder’s men are undefeated in the previous six away games, we predict that they are going to hold Sunderland to a draw at Stadium of Light. Forward Rhian Brewster is likely to return to Sheffield United’s starting XI after coming as a substitute in the draw with WBA.
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.
