Sunderland secured a 2-1 win over Cardiff in their last game. Eliezer Mayenda scored his third goal in two games in the second minute before Isaak Davies equalised in the 41st minute. In the 77th minute, Chris Mepham restored the lead for Sunderland. The Black Cats have now secured back-to-back wins after previously losing back-to-back games. They remain unbeaten in eight of their last ten games and 17 of their 18 games at home this season. They sit 4th on the table with 68 points in 36 games, scoring 54 goals and conceding 33. However, Daniel Ballard (hamstring), Niall Huggins (knee), and Ajibola Alese (foot) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Expert Betting Tips
It was appearing that Sunderland were beginning to drop points recently until they got a win in their last game, and the playoff fight continues. So, with the set of players they have, I expect them to get a win. Elsewhere, six of the last seven games between both sides saw the BTTS-NO results, so I expect this game to follow suit.
