Sunderland

LLLLLW

Sunderland are hoping to win again after their last result, a 1-2 Championship Play-offs triumph versus Coventry City.

In that game, Sunderland managed 25% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 on target. For Sunderland, the goals were scored by Wilson Isidor (68') and Eliezer Mayenda (88'). Coventry City got 14 shots on goal with 3 on target. Jack Rudoni (70') was the scorer for Coventry City.

Sunderland have been quite ineffective in attack in recent times. Their sum of goals equals just 3 vs opponents over their last six fixtures. In those meetings, Sunderland have also seen the number of goals against them total 8. We will find out whether or not that trend will be continued on into this next match.

Coventry City

DWLLWL

In the course of their six latest matches, Frank Lampard's Coventry City have had reason to celebrate scoring 7 times, yielding them a goals scored per game average of 1.17.

👥 Head to head

Looking at their prior head to head meetings going back to 25/02/2023 tells us that Sunderland have won 1 of these games & Coventry City 3, with the number of drawn games being 2.

16 goals were scored between the two sides throughout the course of those matches, with 5 for The Black Cats and 11 created by The Sky Blues. That’s an average goals per game of 2.67.

ℹ️ Team News: Sunderland

In all likelihood, The Black Cats will possibly kick off with a 4-4-2 system for this one, beginning the first half with Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Daniel Ballard, Luke O'Nien, Dennis Cirkin, Patrick Roberts, Dan Neil, Jobe Bellingham, Enzo Le Fée, Eliezer Mayenda and Wilson Isidor.

📋 Team News: Coventry City

We believe The Sky Blues seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Ben Wilson, Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Liam Kitching, Jay Dasilva, Matt Grimes, Ben Sheaf, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Jack Rudoni, Haji Wright and B. Thomas-Asante.

✨ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Coventry City may find it difficult to find the net against this Sunderland side who should get the vital goal that wins it.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a good battle with a 1-0 winning margin for Sunderland at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
