Sunderland

LLLDDL ⚠

After being beaten in their last game against Blackpool in League One competition, Sunderland and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Sullay Kaikai (56') was the scorer for Blackpool.

Looking at their form, and Sunderland have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 11 goals in total. At the back, The Black Cats seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, however.

A look at their previous results shows us that Sunderland:

• haven't been defeated by Plymouth Argyle when they've played them away from home in the last 2 matches in the league.
• haven’t won away from home in the past 4 league games.
