Cardiff City VS Sunderland – Match Preview & Prediction

The Lads travel to the Welsh capital, as Regis Le Bris prepares to take charge of his first competitive match for The Black Cats.

Championship football restarts today, as all games kick off at 12:30 in the league, not very ideal for those travelling down to Wales.

Sunderland had a disappointing season, last season, finishing 16th after winning just 2 of their final 15 matches.

But, Regis Le Bris is here now, and he is aiming for a return to the top 6!

Cardiff City finished comfortably in 12th last season, 6 points above the Black Cats.

The Black Cats have won just twice in 6 matches against Cardiff, losing 4, but they won 0-2 last time they visited the Cardiff City Stadium.

Jack Clarke currently remains as a Sunderland player, which is huge as he was the only good thing to come out of last season, scoring 15 goals.

Team News

New signings, Alan Browne and Ian Poveda could be in contention to make their competitive debuts for The Black Cats.

The only doubt in the squad is Leo Hjelde, who joins Dan Ballard on the sidelines due to a knock.

Prediction

Cardiff 0-1 Sunderland

Scorer – Jack Clarke
