Accrington Stanley vs Sunderland Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings between these teams
• Sunderland’s away matches this season average 3.38 goals per game
• Sunderland have won on each of their last four visits to Accrington

Chaos tends to ensue on Sunderland’s travels

The lively nature of Sunderland’s away games this season was no more evident than last week’s 3-3 draw at Wycombe. A game which saw two goals be scored after the 92^nd minute. Sunderland’s league games away from the Stadium of Light average 3.38 goals per game and they have no trouble finding the net themselves. The Black Cats have scored twelve goals in their last four league games and are relying heavily on their fire power  up front to get them out of League One at the fourth time of asking.

History may well repeat itself

Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings between these two teams. Given the nature of Sunderland’s away matches so far this season this is a feat that may well repeat itself. Sunderland boasts much the superior record in this fixture and are unbeaten in their last seven games against Accrington.

The Black Cats record in this fixture makes for even better reading when they visit the Crown Ground. They have won each of their last four visits to this venue and each of those wins have been by two or more goals. Sunderland can currently be backed at around the even money mark and I believe that to be more than fair reflection of their chance.

My main selection in this one will be Sunderland to win and both teams to score. For my correct score prediction, I will take a chance on 3-1 Sunderland a scoreline which they have won by on two of their previous four visits to this ground.
