Sunderland form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Sunderland have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 6 games. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Sunderland to get some points in this home game.

The supporters are hoping that Sunderland will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Leicester City (placed 1st). Midfield player Roberts got a match rating of 7.62 in that game, the max score being 10. Roberts hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 12 of 18 times and had 27 successful passes (of 33 total).

Heartbreak before that as Sunderland lost 1-2 at Stoke City's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sunderland have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 5 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Sunderland in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. On the other hand, Sunderland have conceded 8 goals.

Norwich City form and stats

There's been little loot from Norwich City's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Championship. Norwich City only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Middlesbrough with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for Norwich in the Middlesbrough match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Rowe got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, top player of the team. Rowe scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Leeds United.

Norwich City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.

The Norwich manager Wagner has got the team scoring on the road, with 13 away goals in 6 league matches. For Norwich City, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
