Sunderland vs Bristol City prediction: A confident win for the home team
Key stats
- Sunderland are without a loss at home with six wins and three draws in the league so far.
- We didn't see both teams score in the two H2H duels between these teams last season.
- At least one team have failed to score in the last five Bristol City's matches in a row.
- Both teams have scored in just three of nine Sunderland's home matches in the league this season.
Correct score prediction: Sunderland 2-0 Bristol City
Sunderland have struggled for a while to keep up the pace with other teams near the top, but they enter this game after winning over the weekend and with Bristol City not in great form either, the Black Cats should be able to collect three points from this game.

Sunderland preview: Back to their winning ways?
After sitting at the top of the standings for a while, Sunderland have gone through a rough patch recently, failing to win for six games in a row. This poor streak has ended over the weekend, with Sunderland beating Stoke, so their fans will be hoping that the Black Cats can get back to the top soon. At the moment, they're fourth and three points behind Sheffield United, the current league leaders.
When it comes to team news, Sunderland are still dealing with a lot if injury issues. At the moment, Alan Browne, Romaine Mundle, Ian Poveda, Salis Abdul Samed, Ahmed Abdullahi, Niall Huggins, and Jenson Seelt.
Predicted lineup: Patterson (GK), Hume, O'Nien, Ballard, Alese, Neill, Bellingham, Watson, Rigg, Roberts & Isidor

Player to watch: Wilson Isidor
The French forward has five goals in the league this season, which is more than any other Sunderland player. With that in mind, Isidor is the biggest threat for Bristol City in this match and our player to watch.
