Sunderland welcome the visitors Gillingham in the English League One – Round 30. The match will be held on Tuesday, February, 19th, at the Stadium of Light (Sunderland).
In the last round, the hosting Sunderland have drawed again, ending level in the 3rd consecutive fixture. That was their 15th draw in 32 rounds. Now they share the 3rd and the 4th places with Portsmouth, just because the latter did not benefit from their result and registered a stalemate themselves. By the way, Portsmouth have also drawed in 3 rounds in a row. This looks very weird – the potential rivals for the automatic promotion to the Premiere League play jointly and synchronously…

The visiting Gillingham attained a win in the last round, though it was only their 9th success in this campaign. The victory, however, did not provide for an escape from the relegation zone; but Gillingham сought up with the 19th and 20th teams and topped the outsiders’ quartet.
The visitors are one of the most uncompromising sides in the league, they drawed just 6 times this season; only 3 clubs did less. Sunderland will have to try hard to register another stalemate on Tuesday. We hope at least in the home encounter against the outsiders, they will grow a conscience and feature a win. Everything favors the hosts – the table placement, the goal difference, the squads’ qualification, the visitors’ unwillingness to end level, and, finally, the turf. What else do they need? In the first-term meeting, Sunderland celebrated a 4:1 away victory over Gillingham. The opponents met 5 times – 4 encounters registered Sunderland’s success and 1 did not find a winner.
Prediction for the match: Sunderland to win home.
