Sunderland VS Cambridge UTD – Match Preview
In another huge game at the Stadium of Light The Black Cats’ will be hoping to climb back into the play-offs with a victory over Cambridge United.
Sunderland are currently 9 games unbeaten as they are the side to beat in these later stages of the season.
They currently sit in 7th place and level on points with Wycombe in 6th but they do have a game in hand on them which could prove vital in a huge midweek game at home to promotion chasers Rotherham United.
Cambridge are currently 12th in the league in what has been an impressive 1st season back in the third division.
United are in good form themselves as they have won 4 of their last 6 games despite losing to Charlton 2-0 last week.
Sunderland will need to be weary of Joe Ironside and Sam Smith who together have 30 goals this season, scoring 15 each.
