London Chelsea, the leader of the English peloton, is coming to the championship underdog, Sunderland, this Wednesday. Despite the field factor, which will be on the side of the Black Cats, Chelsea comes as an obvious favorite in the upcoming encounter. The teams are the opponents of a different caliber, but Sunderland recently have seemed pretty good at their home ground, thus there is an assumption, that it would not be easy for the Blues in the upcoming game.
Sunderland have had a very important game against Swansea on the pitch of the opponent. The Swans are one point ahead of Sunderland in the EPL table right now, and Sunderland is on the last place of the English peloton with 11 points in the asset. It’s important to note, that the Black Cats have won to previous home games.
Chelsea have beaten Manchester City in a great style on 3rd December, and many football fans have been waiting for the similar extravaganza from Conte’s team in the match against WBA, but the Throstles have opposed the Blues very successfully during the whole game, covering the zones with quality, without giving any space to Hazard and Pedro. But still, the superior individual level of the players in the blue uniform manifested, and Diego Costa scored his goal, which happened only on the 76th minute of the game.
Sunderland will put maximum effort not to lose in the upcoming match. The Black Cats have shown some decent performance at home, so one can be sure, that Moyes’ squad will try to give battle to the leader.
Prediction for the match: Sunderland to win with +2.0 Asian handicap.
