Sunderland take on the visitors Millwall in the postponed round 9 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, December 3rd at Stadium of Light (Sunderland).
Sunderland is trying to gain a foothold in the reclaimed positions. The "Black Cats" at one time were a strong middle peasant in the Premier League. But in this century, this team had a lot of black pages. And far from once they ended up in League 1, at the 3rd level of English football. From there it turned out to rise in the spring, and not directly (final 5th place and victory in the playoffs). On the other hand, not only the "magic of the name" works here. An experienced coach, Mowbray, is working, there are enough players who were listed as promising or still in this status: Roberts, Dayaku, Diallo. As a result, the newcomer took 7 wins and 27 points in 20 matches, and is holding on quite confidently. Including wins over 2 of the last 3 opponents.

Millwall are more famous off the pitch than on it. The "Lions" - one of the rather modest, especially by the standards of London, teams. Well, what is there to be especially proud of? There was an appearance in the cup final in 2004, but they lost it. To be in the Championship is considered already a good level. This is despite the fact that the club's fans still have the most serious reputation in almost all of Albion. Nevertheless, both their support and Gary Rowett's long-term work allows us to stay only near the "equator" of the standings. They finished last season in 9th place. In this season, however, so far it has been possible to stay in the playoff zone, on the 6th place, also with the only one defeat in 9 last rounds. But, on the other hand, only 5 points were taken in 4 last matches.
Both last head-to-head fights ended in draws. True, they fell on the already distant 2017/2018 season - after that they played in different divisions. Millwall must continue to cling to its chances of competing for the Premier League. We risk to bet on his victory over the newcomer of the Championship, but with a handicap of "0"
Prediction for the match: Millwall to win.
