The form guides are really strange on this one.
Over the last 8 matches home and away they look like they might be a major banana skin
Won 2 drawn 5 lost 1.........It has draw written all over it given our love of draws during that same period (won 2 drawn 6 lost 0)
However, dig a little deeper and have a look at their last 8 home games. When we look at that they have the 2nd worst home form in the division over their last 8 home games with a record of
Won 1 drawn 3 lost 4.
Sunderlands last 8 away games have been hugely impressive, 4th best in the division
Won 3 drawn 4 lost 1
We would have been 3rd in the away form table but for BRISTOL ROVERS who over the last 8 away games have
Won 4 drawn 2 lost 2
So what does this tell us? We are strong away and they are shite at home. Both of us have drawn a LOT of games in recent times......Their recent form is far better than their league position suggests while ours is worse than our league position suggests.
This is gonna be a toughie, a win will need an excellent performance from us.
