Sunderland victory
Sunderland have been able to register four wins in the last five matches across all competitions. This amazing run of form has put them in a strong position to even consider going on the way in the EFL trophy. After heavy losses against the likes of Morecambe and Accrington Stanley in away matches last season, Man Utd U21 will be delighted to have picked up a win over Bradford. However, sustaining the same against Sunderland will be difficult.
Total goals over 2.5
The last four matches involving Man Utd U21 have produced more than 2.5 goals. Meanwhile, the last three games for Sunderland have produced a ton of goals with two of the games even witnessing over 3.5 goals in total.
Both teams to score – yes
After a string of clean sheets, Sunderland now find themselves without one of the last two matches across all competitions. Even though a return to the Stadium of Light will infuse confidence into the team, Man Utd U21 have a number of talented players who can breach the defence.
Sunderland vs Man Utd U21: EFL Trophy Match Preview
Sunderland
Sunderland have the obvious disadvantage of League One football but back-to-back EFL trophy matches will be putting focus on to this group game. Sunderland are not far away from topping League One and this is largely down to an excellent start that the club has maintained so far. Apart from the loss against Portsmouth, Sunderland have looked stable so far this season.
Man Utd U21
Man Utd U21 are taking to field for the first time since beating Bristol City. The team certainly lacks the experience possessed by Sunderland players. Man Utd U21 are also at a disadvantage of playing away from home. There are some talented names in the squad who could make a huge difference.
