Sunderland

The "Black Cats" are well-known in England, currently plying their trade in the second-tier division. Sunderland sits sixth in the Championship, presenting a viable opportunity for promotion, with a substantial 13-point gap to secure a spot in the top two. The key is to maintain their position in the top six and secure entry into the playoffs. In the last round, the team triumphed over Preston 2-0 at home. The "Black Cats" are in good form, having accumulated 7 points in their last three encounters. The upcoming battle against a representative from the elite tier will serve as an excellent litmus test for Sunderland.

Newcastle

For the "Magpies," this season has not unfolded in the most favorable manner, perhaps due to the demands of dual participation in the Premier League and the Champions League. Despite a respectable showing in the so-called "group of death," the club has already exited European competition. In the Premier League, Newcastle has slipped to the ninth position, trailing the top quartet by an 11-point margin. In the last round, the team succumbed to a 2-4 defeat away to Liverpool, where conceding 7-8 goals seemed imminent. This loss marked the fifth in six matches.

Statistics and Match prediction

The last meeting between these rivals occurred in the 2015/16 season, a time when both teams were embroiled in a survival battle in the Premier League. Newcastle eventually faced relegation, but the fortunes of the clubs have since reversed divisions. As top-tier representatives, the "Magpies" are favored in this encounter. Sunderland is a team capable not only of giving a Premier League representative a tough challenge but also of emerging victorious. We lean towards a wager on both teams scoring.
