Sunderland welcome Newcastle United at Stadium of Light, Sunderland on Saturday, May 1 at 4:00 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Sunderland come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Newcastle United, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
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.
