After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Sunderland and Peterborough United in this fresh League One season. Read our match preview!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sunderland form and stats
A League One draw at home so far for Sunderland. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 8 draws and 1 defeat from 19 matches.
Happy days for Sunderland in their previous game, a League One match away at Oxford United (placed 24th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Bristol Rovers.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Sunderland at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Peterborough United form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the League One ended in defeat. Last season Peterborough United had these away match statistics: Played 18; won 5, drew 5 and lost 8.
Impressive finishing from Jack Taylor and Sammie Szmodics secured the home win 2-1 against Fleetwood Town in their previous game. Prior to that match, the Peterborough United manager D. Ferguson faced defeat when travelling to Accrington Stanley and losing 0-2.
The end of the last match, against Fleetwood Town, was very satisfying as Sammie Szmodics scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
It's early days yet, but Peterborough United has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
