Good day, dear readers and comrades! Let me talk about the Championship. Today, on the football pitch of the "Stadium of Light", "Sunderland" will host "Southampton".
"Sunderland": Patterson; Hume, O'Nien, Ballard, Cirkin; Neil, Ekwah; Ba, Dack, Clarke; Bellingham.
"Southampton": Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Holgate, Manning; Alcaraz, Charles, S.Armstrong; Fraser, A.Armstrong, Edozie.
The club has managed only one victory in the last 5 matches. They fell short in the first tour against "Ipswich Town" with a one-goal margin. In the 1/64 of the English League Cup, they experienced a defeat from "Crewe" after a penalty series. The second tour saw a loss against "Preston" (2:1). Their only victory was in the third tour with a slender advantage over "Rotherham". The fourth tour ended goalless against "Coventry City".
Last season "Southampton" dropped out of the Premier League and was relegated to the Championship. In the last 5 matches, the club managed to triumph over three opponents. In the first tour of the Championship, they had a slender victory over "Sheffield Wednesday". They succumbed to "Gillingham" in the 1/64 of the English League Cup with a scoreline of (3:1). The second tour against "Norwich" saw them score and concede four goals, ending the match in a draw. In the third tour, they beat "Plymouth" with a one-goal margin, while in the fourth tour, they triumphed over "QPR" with a scoreline of (2:1).
Over the last 5 encounters between the clubs, "Southampton" has been victorious thrice, with two games ending in draws. Their last face-off saw "Southampton" scoring four unreciprocated goals.
I feel "Sunderland" is being underrated. They put up a good fight against "Coventry City" and managed not to lose away; I believe they can secure a victory at home. "Southampton" recently played against some not-so-strong teams. Therefore, I'm betting on a win for the home team, with a draw as a back-up.
