Sunderland

DLWWDL ⚖

Since a loss in their previous game against Swansea City in Championship competition, Sunderland will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Sunderland managed 68% possession and 12 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Swansea City got 9 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Ben Cabango (58') scored for Swansea City.

The strike force from Sunderland have made hard work of scoring goals over their last six games, contributing the poor return of only 3. In those matches, The Black Cats have also seen the collective goal tally of opposing teams equal 5. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this game, however.

Ahead of this clash, Sunderland are undefeated in their last 2 away league matches.
