It is undoubtedly one of the most interesting games of the game for this seventh League 1, between two teams with good moments coming from positive results but also with the extra speciality of Joey Burton's presence on the Flywood bench.
The reason for this peculiarity, to begin with, has to do with the fact that Burton has been a Newcastle player for several years, of course having participated in timeshare at Sunderland - Newcastle (remind me, there is a lot of rivalry between these two teams), which is unreasonably forgotten by fans of "blackheads". For the reason, it is enough to take a walk through the various social media channels where you will find the already "warm" reception that they are preparing for while there are no missing curses against him, various bitter comments and unqualified ratings.
On the other hand, of course this means that Burton will not be left with crossed toys. As long as he states that "it's a game like all the rest of the championship," be sure he has already prepared his team psychologically (he has ... say, let's just say that) while the icing on his latest statements was the comparison he made between the two teams, saying "there is no doubt that we have better Sunderland players in every man-to-man position."
As for the game itself, although we can not overlook the fact that Sunderland is still undefeated at the championship level, and at the same time it is considered as one of the first favorites to go to Championship, I have the feeling that the sets of odds that are somewhere in the wrong Flintwood, which for its part remains undefeated after the premiere and that 0-2 with Wimbledon, while measuring two wins and a tie in three outings now, without even having her home hit (7-XNU MX the goals to these three off). I recall - and this is something we have mentioned in previous texts where we re-supported it - as last season was from the good away teams, so the numbers so far to the extra-random are not. In fact, if he was a bit more apt with Charlton (he stuck to 0-0 in a match that was worth the victory) he would have been able to count the absolute 0 / 3 wins off, so no matter how much I accept that Sunderland is the favorite , I disagree verbally on ... how much favorite they are.
It is also worth noting that in addition to his team capacity, last Saturday, he made a character, managing to enforce Brentford (2-1) despite being forced to compete in the second half with a lesser player. It should also be noted that without any other obligations, the midweek had the full flexibility to prepare for the game as long as Sunderland on Tuesday night struggled with the "little" Stoke for the League Trophy. It may have been the relative rotation of Jack Ross, but it was no extra charge.
My bet, in conclusion, goes to the double of 4,75 at bet365, a price that I do not think tells the truth about the difficulty of the game. The two teams do not have such big differences, while I accept without a second thought the risk by betting on a team that is proven to know and defend, coming out quickly in the counter-attack, even having a very "hot" Chad Evans, who scores almost non-stop for his team.
