Sunderland vs Doncaster Predictions

• Sunderland are unbeaten in their last seven games against Doncaster
• Sunderland hold the best home record in League One this season
• Doncaster have taken just four points on their travels this season

Change might be welcomed at Sunderland

Sunderland fans will be expecting a reaction to last weekend’s humiliation away at Bolton. The 6-0 defeat at the University of Bolton Stadium was enough to cost Lee Johnson his job. A fresh start may rejuvenate this Sunderland side as things had gone a bit flat since the turn of the year. It’s now one win in five games in 2022 for the Black Cats.

Sunderland can lean on a very impressive home record this season as they look to bounce back and keep tabs on Rotherham and Wigan. Sunderland have only lost two home league games all season and have taken 34 points from their 14 games at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland are unbeaten in their last seven games against Doncaster and this run is expected to continue against a Rovers side who are enduring a torrid time of things this season.

Donny destined for League Two stint

Doncaster are currently eleven points off safety and look resigned to the drop this season. Doncaster have conceded eight goals in their last two games and have lost 12 of their last 14 games. Last time they were on the road they recorded a shock 1-0 victory away at MK Dons, this victory took their points tally on their travels this season to four. They have scored just eight goals away from home all season and a long afternoon could be instore at Sunderland on Saturday.

The main selection for this game will be Sunderland to win and over 2.5 goals to be scored in the match. The reverse fixture at the Keepmoat in December finished 3-0 to Sunderland and I will chance a repeat of this score line as my correct score prediction.
