The season is still fairly new and the Premier League 2 Divison Two table has to be read with caution. So far Sunderland U23 find themselves in 12th position and Fulham U23 are placed 9th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Sunderland U23 are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Premier League 2 Divison Two games here at Academy of Light Training Ground. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Sunderland U23, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Sunderland's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-6 versus Middlesbrough U23 (placed 2nd). In the preceding match a 4-0 victory visiting Newcastle Utd U23.
Sunderland were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sunderland U23 as they are travelling to their away game against Aston Villa U23 in the Premier League 2 Divison Two. That match is four days after this one.
Sunderland U23 has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 9 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Fulham U23 form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the Premier League 2 Divison Two away games so far for Fulham U23 with six points collected from three matches.
There might be some fixture complaints from Fulham as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League 2 Divison Two match against Newcastle Utd U23 (1-2). A 0-2 loss hosting Norwich City U23 before that.
The Fulham manager M. Pembridge has got the team scoring on the road, with 7 away goals in 3 league matches. As opposed to that, Fulham have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.
