As for Sunderland, the club completely failed last season having earned 24 points with 29-69 goal difference becoming the worst team of the Premier League. On the eve of a start in the Championship “The Black Cats” played eight friendly encounters recording four wins, two draws and two losses in them. The opening match of the new season in the Championship Sunderland finished in 1:1 draw against Derby County.
Despite the last season’s failure, Sunderland are the team of a higher level than Bury. The visiting side was always among the England’s strongest teams and even after the summer sale of players as well as head-coach replacement and departure of the team’s leaders, Sunderland are still one of the strongest sides playing outside the Premier League. Therefore, “The Black Cats” must beat the rival from the lower division.
Prediction for the match: Sunderland to win.
