Sunderland vs Fleetwood Town Predictions

• Sunderland are unbeaten in their last three matches
• Both teams have scored in seven of the last eight meetings
• Fleetwood have won one of their last 12 away matches

Neil looks to be having an impact at Sunderland

Alex Neil has only been in charge of Sunderland for four games, but the ex-Preston boss already looks to have made a positive impact on the team. Sunderland are now unbeaten in their last three matches and were unlucky not to make it two wins on the spin at The Valley on Saturday. Sunderland dominated that game, just as they did against Wigan two weeks ago and The Black Cats seem to have found their feet again following a terrible run at the beginning of 2022.

Fleetwood’s road woes may cost them in survival bid

Fleetwood arrive at the Stadium of Light without a win in their last nine matches and are precariously close to the drop zone – Fleetwood are just two points above Morecambe who occupy the last of the four relegation places. If Fleetwood are to go down this season, their away form will be largely to blame. Stephen Crainey’s men have taken just 13 points from their 17 away matches so far this season and travel to Sunderland on Tuesday having won one of their last 12 away matches, they look to have their work cut out against the rejuvenated hosts.

The main selection for this game will be Sunderland to win and both teams to score in the match. The visitors haven’t won in their last nine and Sunderland look to have found their feet again. This is a fixture in which both teams normally score – both teams have scored in seven of the last eight meetings between Sunderland and Fleetwood. The correct score prediction for this one will be a 3-1 home win.
