Sunderland vs Norwich Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 26/10/2023, 08:17  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 26/10/2023 at 09:18 in Championship Predictions

Two out-of-form sides meet in the Championship. Sunderland are 10th in the table and four places ahead of the visitors Norwich City. The Black Cats come into this game looking to avoid a fourth successive league defeat. Despite their slump in form, Sunderland are only one point behind West Bromwich Albion who are sixth, the final promotion play-off position. Recent losses have come against Middlesbrough, Stoke City and on Tuesday at runaway leaders Leicester City. Sunderland have now won six of their 13 league games, losing the same number and drawing just one fixture. Home form has seen Sunderland win three and lose three of their matches at the Stadium of Light. Two of the last three have ended in defeat but they did get a 2-0 home win over Watford.

Norwich City will go ahead of their opponents if winning this match. They have also lost six games in the Championship this season but are only three points behind the crucial final promotion play-off position. Like their hosts they are also on a run of poor form. The Canaries have lost their last two league games with only one point earned from the last four. Their most recent league defeat was a 2-1 home loss to improving Middlesbrough. Away form for them has produced only one league win with two draws and three defeats. Both teams have scored in each of their last four away Championship matches. We go for that stat to come up again in this weekends game.
