Sunderland vs Plymouth Analysis
Sunderland
Sunderland claimed four points in recent back-to-back tests at Burnley (0-0) and Derby (1-0) in their last two league assignments and the Black Cats, who are handily placed in fourth position in the Championship table, will be targeting more success when they host relegation favourites Plymouth in the north east.
Regis Le Bris’s promotion hopefuls have yet to lose at the Stadium of Light this season and having won five of their last six fixtures on home soil, they look well-positioned to push for maximum points again at Argyle’s expense. Sunderland are odds-on favourites to triumph on betting sites for football and anything other than a home win here would be a major shock.
Team news: Ajibola Alese, Niall Huggins, Tom Watson, Romaine Mundle and Alan Browne are all listed as potential injury absentees for Sunderland.
Predicted Lineup: Patterson, Hume, Mepham, O’Nien, Cirkin, Rigg, Neil, Bellingham, Lee Fee, Mayenda, Isidor
Plymouth
Plymouth have a new face in the dugout in Miron Muslic, though Argyle’s struggles remain and the division’s bottom club were torn to shreds by Burnley in a 5-0 rout in their last Championship test.
Argyle have now conceded a mammoth 60 goals in just 29 league fixtures and though they are still only six points from safety, they look ill-equipped to launch a bid for survival in the second half of the campaign.
Plymouth were five goals down by half time when they hosted the Clarets in midweek and they will fear another hammering when they visit a similarly strong Sunderland side. Plymouth – who have yet to win an away game this term – are priced as massive underdogs on betting apps for football.
Team news: Kornel Szucs, Muhamed Tijani, Brendon Galloway and Joseph Hatch are all in the treatment room for Plymouth.
Predicted Lineup: Grimshaw, Pleguezuelo, Palsson, Puchacz, Mumba, Houghton, Gyabi, Sorinola, Baidoo, Wright, Bundu

Sunderland vs Plymouth Prediction
Plymouth put in a catastrophically poor performance in their 5-0 loss at home to Burnley in midweek and it’s difficult to see how they can avoid another heavy defeat when they visit Sunderland. The Black Cats have won nine of their 13 Championship matches at the Stadium Of Light this season and they will view Saturday’s clash with Plymouth as a big opportunity to improve their goal difference.
Prediction: Sunderland to win – 1/4 (-400) – BetZone
Sunderland vs Plymouth – The Ultimate Bet:
Sunderland to win to nil – 21/20 (+105)
Plymouth have scored fewer goals (25) than any other team in the Championship this season and in midweek, they failed to score in a league fixture for the 14th time when they drew a blank against Burnley.
Away from home Argyle have failed to score in a whopping 79% of their league assignments and Plymouth have played 450 minutes of action on the road without notching a single goal.
Sunderland meanwhile, kept clean sheets in four of their last five league games and the robust Black Cats are priced attractively with BetZone to win to nil here.
