Sunderland host Newcastle United at Stadium of Light, Sunderland on Saturday, May 1 at 4:00 PM in the Premier League.
Sunderland come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Newcastle United, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Sunderland head into this on the back of a defeat, while Newcastle United arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
History strongly favours Sunderland here — they've won 8 of 10 previous meetings against Newcastle United, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Newcastle United won 1–2.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Sunderland a slight edge, but Newcastle United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
