In the 33rd round of League One we bet Friday night on Sunderland – Accrington Stanley. The hosts are pushing for promotion in the Championship, but they have had a hesitant home game this season.
Sunderland is in 4th place (goal 51-28) and has only three points to recover to the first two positions – promotion. “Black cats” have hardly adjusted after relegation, but sometimes they have good hands on their own. Curiously, the white-reds drew in 4 of the last 5 stages of the championship: 1-1 with Blackpool, Oxford United, Scunthorpe and Luton! But the team trained by Jack Ross has an invincible series of 11 parties that give great confidence. Maya’s (15 goals scored) have attracted fans from Stadium of Light and we will certainly see an offensive approach by the hosts. However, the guest rate is down.
Accrington is on 16th place and struggling for survival without winning in the last five stages. Only one team scored fewer white-red goals (27), and the last matches did not inspire confidence in a guest bet: 0-2 with Scunthorpe, 0-0 with Gillingham and Bristol Rovers and 0-1 with Charlton and Derby County. Accrington won the last match at the beginning of the year, with modest Ipswich (1-0) and since then scored in a single match of 6! Even the negative series must end, and Sunderland can be surprised.
PREDICTION: Sunderland to win @ 1,75
