Sunderland Double Chance
Sunderland earned a point against Coventry in their first game back in the second tier and the Black Cats carried plenty of threat while playing on the counter-attack against the Sky Blues. That ability to spring forward quickly on the break should allow Sunderland to threaten again when they visit Aston Gate to play Bristol City and with the Robins a little fragile following an opening day defeat to Hull, they could be worth opposing in the double chance market on Saturday.
Both Teams to Score
Both teams rattled the net in Bristol City and Sunderland’s first assignments of the new Championship season against Hull and Coventry respectively and the same market appeals at the prices on offer this weekend. Remarkably, City have notched in 100% of their last 20 Championship fixtures at Ashton Gate, while Sunderland, who mustered five attempts on target against Coventry, wield enough bite to threaten the Robins’ ropy defence.
