Today's Betting Tips for Shrewsbury vs Sunderland

Sunderland have lost just once in six assignments since the restart ahead of their tussle with Shrewsbury in the FA Cup on Saturday. Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Sunderland to Win

Sunderland are starting to play like genuine promotion contenders in the Championship and the Black Cats will be determined to carry their strong league form into the FA Cup this weekend when they navigate what looks like a winnable third round test at Shrewsbury. The hosts are toiling in League One where they have lost three games on the bounce and Salop could struggle to match Sunderland’s potent combination of quality and momentum on Saturday.

Over 1.5 Sunderland Goals

Shrewsbury conceded three goals in their last match at Montgomery Waters Meadow against Fleetwood on New Year’s Day and their defending was poor enough against the Fishermen to suggest Salop could be pulled apart in similar fashion by a superior Sunderland outfit on Saturday. The Black Cats rattled four goals past Wigan in their last away assignment and they are available at a tempting price to net over 1.5 times again when they visit Shrewsbury in the FA Cup.

Shrewsbury vs Sunderland Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s FA Cup clash between Shrewsbury and Sunderland.

Shrewsbury

Daniel Udoh and George Nurse are listed as injured for Shrewsbury at present, while Matthew Pennington, Luke Leahy and Ryan Bowman are all currently suspended. Salop’s confidence is certain to be at a low ebb following three defeats on the bounce in the third tier.

Predicted Lineup for Shrewsbury: Marosi – Bennett, Dunkley, Flanagan – Moore, Winchester, Bloxham, Shipley – Bayliss, Street, Saydee

Sunderland

Dennis Cirkin, Aji Alese and Elliot Embleton are confirmed absentees for Sunderland this weekend, while Lynden Gooch and Danny Batth are slight doubts. Sunderland fought back from a goal down to claim a point at Blackpool last time out and they remain within touching distance of the playoff positions in the Championship.

Predicted Lineup for Sunderland: Patterson – Ballard, Wright, O'Nien – Hume, Michut, Neil, Clarke – Diallo, Roberts, Stewart

Player to Watch – Amad Diallo

Amad Diallo has been dazzling Sunderland supporters over the past few weeks with a string of superb performances in attack and the diminutive Ivorian could turn Saturday’s tie in the Black Cats’ favour with a swing of his magical left boot. Diallo is on loan from Manchester United this season and he will aim to have a crack at the first team at Old Trafford when he returns.
