Sunderland take on the visitors Watford in the round 10 match of English Championship.The match will be played on Wednesday, October 4th at Stadium of Light (Sunderland).
The Black Cats consistently provide their fans with real emotional rollercoasters. It's unlikely that many have witnessed the club's championship triumphs – the last time they clinched the title was back in 1936. However, they have occasionally played in the Premier League and even made a mark in cup competitions, reaching the final of the League Cup in 2014. But there was a fall to the third division of the country, League 1. Upon their return, in the previous season, they managed to secure sixth place, allowing them to try their luck in the playoffs. It didn't work out then, but under the guidance of Tony Mowbray, they have the potential to at least replicate that achievement. Following a 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday, they have climbed into the top four with sixteen points.

Watford continues to disappoint. The Hornets were once considered a football elevator, known for their frequent changes in managerial positions. They managed to shed the label of a team constantly moving between divisions, but they now find themselves in a lower position in the Championship. Last season, the London project finished outside the top ten in the final league table, in eleventh place. It seemed that lessons would be learned, but instead, the capital club essentially had a poor start to the new Championship campaign. In the previous match, despite coming back from two goals down against Middlesbrough, they eventually lost at home.
In the last nine matches, each club has secured two wins, and there have been a remarkable five draws, including both encounters last season, where the teams shared the points. There doesn't seem to be much room for intrigue here: the stronger team in good form playing at home. We expect the home team to win this football match.
Prediction for the match: Sunderland to win.
