Sunderland vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

• Sunderland have taken ten points from their last five league matches
• West Brom have the fourth-worst away record in the Championship
• Amad Diallo has scored four times in his last six appearances for Sunderland

Black Cats overpriced on recent efforts

Sunderland returned to league action a week before the rest of the Championship when they recorded a comfortable 3-0 victory over Millwall, last weekend. With match sharpness on their side, the Black Cats appear slightly overpriced for Monday’s game against West Brom. Sunderland have taken ten points from their last five league matches and have now won their last two. Tony Mobray could hand Ross Stewart a place on the bench which would be another boost for Monday’s hosts.

West Brom have struggled on their travels

Carlos Corberan has overseen three wins in his four matches as West Brom head coach, but his side have struggled on the road all season and are now faced with a difficult trip to the North-East. West Brom have won two away games all season and currently have the fourth-worst away record in the Championship having earned just ten points on the road. The Baggies have been chalked up as favourites for Monday’s game but remain in the divisions bottom three and make little appeal given their travel woes.

Manchester United loanee Diallo could have a big say

Amad Diallo took a while to find his feet at Sunderland but the Manchester United loanee has scored four times in his last six appearances for the Black Cats and could have a big say on proceedings on Monday night. The winger has scored in each of Sunderland’s last two games and a chance can be taken on him continuing his fine run of form against West Brom.

Sunderland to win in the outright market will be the main selection for Sunday’s game, with a 2-1 home victory forming the correct score prediction. Punters can round off a three-pronged attack on Monday’s game by backing Amad Diallo to score anytime.
