Sunderland take on the visitors Preston in the round 37 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 11th at Stadium of Light (Sunderland).
Sunderland is playing exciting football this season. It would be great to see this team back in the Premier League! At the moment, they sit in fourth place in the Championship standings, but there are still plenty of matches left to play. Sunderland has been particularly outstanding at home, where they have collected the third-most points in the league and suffered just one defeat all season. Looking at their recent form, the Black Cats have bounced back after a slight dip. They managed to grind out a tough away win against Sheffield, with Le Bris’s right flank delivering an excellent defensive display. In their most recent fixture, they dominated Cardiff at home in a hard-fought victory, where their entire attacking unit impressed. This run of form suggests they are hitting their stride at a crucial point in the season.

Preston currently sits in 16th place in the Championship table, and their biggest issue is their lackluster attack. The team is averaging just one goal per game this season, and their recent performances have been dreadful. They have failed to win any of their last five league matches. While they did produce their best performance of the season in the FA Cup, their league form remains a major concern. Preston struggles to find the net, as seen in their recent match against Swansea, where they controlled possession but failed to create real chances. Against Sheffield, they were completely outclassed and failed to register a single clear-cut opportunity in an away defeat. Their poor away form is another major issue, with just three wins from 18 road games this season. Even worse, they have looked increasingly toothless in attack, scoring just twice in their last five away matches.
Sunderland is hitting top form again, stringing together victories, and their latest win will only boost their confidence and morale. They are one of the best home teams in the league, and despite the absence of Le Fée, Alese, Poveda, Ballard, Roberts, and Huggins, they still have Isidor in excellent form—he was even rested in the last game. Meanwhile, Preston is a mediocre away side, with most of their best results coming at home. Their recent performances have been lackluster, and they will also be without key players like Holmes, Storey, McCann, Whiteman, and Jensen—the Danish midfielder had been particularly influential before his injury. Historically, Sunderland has the upper hand in this fixture, and they should be expected to extend that dominance with another home victory.
Prediction for the match: Sunderland to win.
