Sunderland take on the visitors Huddersfield in the round 43 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 18th at Stadium of Light (Sunderland).
Two consecutive victories against mid-table teams have allowed the "Black Cats" to temporarily edge their way into the race for the top six, although Sunderland could drop points in any match. The hosts score a lot, but they also concede a lot. The last few rounds have a very serious schedule, with matches against direct competitors. It's simple - if you win, there's a greater chance that something more will come out of it. But not everything depends on the team of Moobray. In terms of gameplay quality, the club is not entirely worthy of reaching the playoffs. Since the beginning of this year, there have only been two victories with a difference of more than one goal.

The "Terriers" started late, but they still have a chance not to be relegated to the First League until the last round. In six rounds, the guests suffered only one minimal defeat, gaining ten points, and did so against teams fighting for the playoffs. Huddersfield, who is not outstanding in attack, has started scoring a lot, has become more reliable in defense, and has still climbed out of the last place in the Championship. Everything may be decided in the last round against Reading. At the moment, Warnock's wards do not look hopeless at all. And they can fight at least for a draw.
This match features two teams of approximately equal class, and the league table should not be taken into account. The "Terriers" have improved and are consistently scoring goals. The "Black Cats" continue to concede on a regular basis. It's hard to believe in a victory by a difference of more than one goal, and it's possible that the teams will share the points, but neither team wants that. Sunderland is a favorite due to home field advantage according to the bookmakers, but this opinion can be disputed. I suppose that the guests will not lose by more than one goal. If they lose at all.
Prediction for the match: Huddersfield to win with +1.0 handicap.
