Sunderland vs Watford Predictions

• Sunderland are unbeaten in their last seven Championship matches (W3, D4)
• Sunderland have taken ten points from their last four Championship matches
• Watford have failed to win any of their last nine away matches (D3, L6)

Black Cats can take big step towards securing play off berth

Sunderland are unbeaten in their last seven Championship matches and have taken ten points from the last 12 available, a timely run which has seen Tony Mowbray’s side move into the top six with just two games remaining.

Sunderland impressed last weekend on their way to recording a 2-1 victory at promotion chasing rivals, West Brom. The Black Cats have been a better side on the road this season, but they have been afforded a golden opportunity to firm up their play-off credentials against a Watford side who have completely lost their way.

Hapless Hornets there for the taking

Watford are in complete disarray at the moment and Chris Wilder has struggled to get any sort of tune out of the players since taking charge.

Watford have won one of their last seven Championship matches but have really struggled on the road in 2023. The Hornets have failed to win any of their last nine away matches (D3, L6), they have lost four of their last five on the road in the Championship, failing to score in all four of those defeats.

Sunderland to win in the outright market will be the headline selection for Saturday’s game at the Stadium of Light, with a 2-0 home victory forming the correct score prediction.
