Sunderland VS Hull City – Match Preview & Prediction

Sunderland look to bounce back against the Tigers’ after 2 late goals saw Leeds come back from behind to beat the Black Cats last time out.

A win for Sunderland would see them go to 5 points behind Sheffield United in 2nd, and go up to 18 points clear of 7th.

Hull currently sit 21st, just 1 points above the top 3, so if they can shock Sunderland, they could move up to 20th and up to 4 points clear of the relegation zone.

Sunderland’s loss to Leeds United was their first defeat in 9 league matches, and only their 5th league defeat this season.

Hull City have won just 1 of their last 5 matches (1D 3L), their last victory coming in impressive style, winning 0-3 away from home against title challengers, Sheffield United.

The Black Cats have only lost 1 of their last 12 meetings with the Tigers (5W 6D) and in the reverse fixture this season, Sunderland won 0-1 at The MKM Stadium, thanks to an amazing solo goal from Wilson Isidor.

Isidir will be hoping to keep up his magnificent form, he has scored or assisted in each of his last 5 matches (4 goals 1 assist), as he hopes to lead Sunderland into a charge in the final stretch of the season.

Team News

Tommy Watson will return to training next week, while Romaine Mundle and Alan Browne are both expected to feature after being unused substitutes at Leeds on Monday.
