Newcastle United U21 desperately need points on Monday, Oct 26 at 8:00 PM in the Premier League 2. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Newcastle United U21 come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 3L in last 3). Sunderland U21, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 0D 1L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Newcastle United U21 head into this on the back of a defeat, while Sunderland U21 arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Newcastle United U21 and Sunderland U21 have split their 5 meetings almost evenly (1W–3D–1W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: Sunderland U21's quality should tell even on the road. Newcastle United U21 will push, but the visitors have too much class. Sunderland U21 to win.
