Sunderland v Bristol City Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Tuesday 10th December 2024
On the back of their 2-1 victory over Stoke City at the Weekend, Sunderland will be going all-out to record back-to-back wins for the first time in two months when they entertain Bristol City at the Stadium of Light this evening.
Cooled off
The Black Cats currently sit in fourth position in the Championship standings with 36 points collected from nineteen rounds of fixtures. Regis Le Bris’ men started their push for promotion in excellent fashion with wins in all-but-three of their opening twelve Championship outings, however the Wearside outfit have cooled things off in recent weeks. Indeed, prior to their weekend win over Stoke City, the Black Cats had embarked upon a six-game winless run with the spoils being shared in five of these. Nevertheless, following their weekend win, Sunderland are just three points adrift of table-topping Sheffield United and victory this evening would pile pressure on the Blades (who aren’t in action until Wednesday evening) in the race for the Championship title.
Disappointing form
Bristol City are sitting relatively comfortably in mid-table with 25 points collected from their nineteen rounds of fixtures. The Robins have been struggling with some disappointing form in recent weeks with defeats in three of their last four outings. Indeed their only reprieve since early November has been a 4-0 demolition of local rivals Plymouth Argyle, however this is a relatively young side with a number of players absent through injury and they have been up against some high level opposition in recent weeks.
Positive response
The 3-0 defeat to relegation-threatened Portsmouth in their last outing was a big disappointment and manager Liam Manning will be demanding a positive response from his troops tonight. Nevertheless, against Sunderland we envisage the Robins coming unstuck and given their poor showing against Pompey at the weekend, we’ll be siding with Le Bris’ side dominating from the outset with a convincing victory at the Stadium of Light.
Back Sunderland to win 2-0 at best odds of 8/1
