Sunderland vs Swansea City Predictions

• Both teams have scored in seven of Sunderland’s last eight games in all competitions
• Sunderland have won five of their last eight games in all competitions
• Swansea have been victorious in just one of their last eight Championship matches

In-form Black Cats on the charge

Sunderland have finally found the form that they have been threatening to all season and have now won four of their last seven Championship games, losing just one in that run. That has seen the Black Cats rise up to just outside the playoffs in a heavily congested second tier table.

The efforts of Ross Stewart and on-loan Amad Diallo have been key to the success of Tony Mowbray’s team and they will need those two to continue their form if they are to finish in the top six this season.

Inconsistent Swans need a win

Swansea have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the Championship this season, failing to put together a solid run of form, particularly recently. The Swans have won just one of their last eight Championship matches and have drawn five of those. Both teams have shown plenty going forward recently, with Swansea scoring nine in their last four matches, and both teams to score is the fancy.

However Sunderland are in better form than their opponents and they could edge a 2-1 win in what should be a competitive affair.
