Sunderland vs Blackburn: Top Free Betting Tips

After getting knocked out of EFL Cup, Blackburn Rovers make a trip to Sunderland to play the next fixture in Championship on Monday, 26 December. The Black Cats have recorded a winless pattern in recent league games, ending the last game in a draw against Hull City.

Match Result Prediction: Blackburn to Win

Sunderland had admirable stats against Blackburn at home but the last two H2Hs of these teams have ended in the favour of the Rovers. The Riversiders have also done far better than the Black Cats this season and won three of the previous five away league attempts. On the other hand, Sunderland has received three defeats in the previous four duels at home. So we back Blackburn to take away three points in this game.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Most of the recent H2Hs of Sunderland and Blackburn have featured low totals but we expect to see a change of trend in this game. Sunderland has hit the target consecutively in the latest outings and scored five goals in the last five outings. Blackburn Rovers have also managed an average of two goals per game in the previous five attempts. The Black Cats have also allowed goals in four of the previous five hosting duels.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-2 to Blackburn

Blackburn Rovers rattled the net twice in each of the last two H2Hs against Sunderland and they performed the same in three of the last four away outings. The team has also offered a strong defence previously and secured two clean sheets consecutively in recent visits. In opposition, Sunderland has scored more than once in only two of the last six outings. Therefore, we see the Riversiders capable enough to restrict the hosts to get a 1-2 lead.

Centre-forward Ellis Simms will be out of this game due to a toe injury.

The team has also gained only six points in the last five league outings but stands in the third position on the table with 13 wins in 23 attempts.
