In the postponed match of the ninth round of the English Championship, Sunderland and Millwall will meet. How will the duel end? We'll figure it out.
Sunderland
Sunderland are 15th in the standings after 20 matches, with 27 points scored. Tony Mowbray's players have seven wins, six draws and seven defeats. During the three-week break, the Black Cats held a friendly match against Al-Shabab from the UAE, in which they won with a minimal advantage in the score 1:0.
Sunderland are not showing the best performance in home games this season. In nine meetings, they scored only ten points, which is 22 out of 24 in the championship.
Millwall
Millwall, after 20 matches, takes sixth place, which allows them to take part in play-off matches for the right to play in the English Premier League. Gary Rowett's players have 31 points, the same as three other teams, but the Lions are ahead of their competitors in additional indicators.
"Millwall" does not show the most outstanding football away: in ten meetings the team scored only nine points, which is the penultimate indicator in the championship.
Statistics and figuresSunderland is the favorite of the match according to bookmakers;
- "Miluloul" in the last nine matches before the three-week break suffered only one defeat;
- The last time the teams met in the 2017/18 season, then both matches ended in a draw (1:1 and 2:2).
- Forecast
I think that "Miluloul" has more chances to win, but "Sunderland" should be helped by the native walls.
I expect that the game will take place in the center of the field, and the first half will end in a draw.
