Cardiff vs Sunderland Predictions

• Sunderland have the sixth-best away record in the Championship
• Sunderland have taken four points from their last two Championship away matches
• Both teams to score has been a winning selection in eight of Sunderland’s last 11 away matches in all competitions

Look beyond Sunderland’s recent form

Sunderland’s have taken three points from their last four league matches (D3, L1), and as a result appear overpriced for their trip to the Welsh capital. Sunderland have played the divisions current top three sides in their last four matches so their points return in that period is acceptable and a chance should be taken on the Black Cats here.

Tony Mowbray’s side are better equipped to play on their travels, they have the sixth-best away record in the Championship this season and have earned more points on the road than they have at the Stadium of Light.

Cardiff make for unappealing favourites

Cardiff have been chalked up as favourites for Monday’s game, but make the Bluebirds make little appeal despite a recent upturn in fortunes under Sambri Lamouchi.

Cardiff have won just four times in 2023, all of which came against sides currently in the bottom half of the Championship table and the visitors, who excel on the road, make much more appeal at current odds.

Sunderland to win in the outright market will form the headline selection for Monday’s game, with a 2-1 away win forming the correct score prediction. Both teams to score has been a winning selection in eight of Sunderland’s last 11 away matches in all competitions.
