Betting on Sunderland Association Football Club
Sunderland clinched a 1-0 win against Cardiff in Wales, getting back on track after four games without a victory. However, it’s only managed to win two out of its last ten matches, and interestingly, both victories were by a narrow margin. Its record this season stands at 15 wins, 13 draws, and 13 losses, which has been enough to secure a spot in the top 10 of the standings.
Its home record is not impressive, with only six wins so far. Currently, it doesn’t appear confident playing at home since it hasn’t won a game since February 11th when it beat Reading 1-0. Since then, it’s gone five games without a win, with three draws and two losses.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3) : Anthony Patterson; Lynden Gooch, Trai Hume, Danny Batth, Dennis Cirkin; Daniel Neil, Pierre Ekwah, Abdoullah Ba; Amad Diallo, Alex Pritchard, Jack Clarke.
Betting on Birmingham City Football Club
It’s been a lackluster season for Birmingham City, with only 13 wins, 11 draws, and 17 losses in 41 matches. Actually, its third-highest number of defeats is evidence of the problems the team has faced, and why it is not in the top half of the standings.
However, this team is currently on a good run of form, with four games unbeaten, including two wins and two draws. These results are linked to a solid defensive performance, as it has only conceded one goal during that time.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1) : John Ruddy; Maxime Colin, Marc Roberts, Kevin Long, Auston Trusty; Juninho Bacuna, Krystian Bielik; Tahith Chong, George Hall, Reda Khadra; Lukas Jutkiewicz.
JefeBet Prediction
Sunderland comes into this match riding high on the motivation of a recent win against a mid-standing opponent. With Birmingham also in a similar position, Sunderland has a chance to capitalize. The home team’s defense has been solid, which could be a crucial factor in this match. Therefore, at JefeBet, we believe that the home team will come out on top and secure the victory.
Prediction: Moneyline Sunderland (SUN 1-0 BIR)
