Bet on Sunderland vs Portsmouth

Sunderland Too Strong for Pompey at Stadium of Light

Sunderland have been a surprise package in the Championship this season. Regis Le Bris has hit the ground running at the Stadium of Light, turning the Black Cats into genuine promotion candidates.

Sunderland won a huge six-pointer against Sheffield United in midweek, with Eliezer Mayenda and Wilson Isidor getting the goals in the 2-1 victory. They are two points off automatic promotion and five points behind leaders Leeds United.

Portsmouth are battling at the other end of the Championship table. Staying up has always been the priority, and Pompey are a point above the drop zone going into Sunday’s showdown.

After hammering Swansea City 4-0 at Fratton Park last time out, John Mousinho’s men will be up for this one. However, they have picked up just one away league win all season and head to Sunderland as big underdogs.

Recent Sunderland vs Portsmouth Head-to-Head Meetings

Sunderland won the reverse meeting at Fratton Park earlier in the season. Alan Browne and Romaine Mundle were among the scorers in the 3-1 victory for the Black Cats.

The game back in August was the first league fixture outside of the third tier since they locked horns in the Premier League in 2010. These two were regular promotion rivals in EFL League One.
