Gameweek 40 in the Championship will see Sunderland playing host to Blackburn Rovers on Monday night. The hosts are in 12th place in the league standings, while the visitors are 19th. Sunderland have been slipped away from the playoff places in the last couple of months and come into this match with 51 points after 39 games, trailing the top six sides by 13 points. They managed a 2-0 win over Cardiff City last week to bring an end to a seven-match winless streak dating back to mid-February. During that time, the Black Cats lost six in a row before drawing goalless against Queens Park Rangers. At home this season, Sunderland have played 19 Championship matches, securing ten wins, one draw, and eight losses. However, they are currently on a three-match winless streak at home, including one draw and two losses. Still, the hosts won the reverse fixture 3-1 back in September and are the favourites in this one. 

Meanwhile, after narrowly missing out on a playoff spot last season, Blackburn have experienced a major fall from grace this term. They enter gameweek 40 with just 42 points to their name and are just three points above Huddersfield Town, who are the first side below the dotted line. Rovers suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ipswich Town on Friday, marking their ninth consecutive league match without a win, during which time they lost three and drew six while also bowing out of the FA Cup against Newcastle United. The visitors have taken 19 points out of a possible 57 in league matches away from home this season, achieving five wins, four draws, and ten losses. Currently, Rovers are on a ten-match winless streak on the road, with their last away victory coming in November against Stoke City.

Our Sunderland vs Blackburn Prediction

While Sunderland are the favourites here, they have not been in the best of form recently and were riding a seven-match winless streak before clinching a 2-0 win over Cardiff last week. Blackburn, meanwhile, have been very poor this season and are struggling at both ends, especially on the road, where they are winless in ten games. There is not much to suggest this will be a high-scoring affair here; therefore, our Sunderland vs Blackburn Rovers prediction: Under 3.5.
