Sunderland-West Bromwich Albion betting preview
This is one of the biggest matches of the final week of the English Premier League. Sunderland could complete their memorable escape act if they can win this match. Even a draw would practically see off the relegation threat.
A draw will confirm West Brom’s stay in the next season’s league too. Norwich City, and their band of supporters, would cheer for West Brom. Norwich, who are due to play their final game against Arsenal next weekend, is two points behind Sunderland and have a horrible goal difference. If Sunderland can get a draw today, it is almost impossible for Norwich to catch up with them.
West Brom are in relegation zone too – albeit only mathematically. The team has scored 36 points from as many matches: one point more than Sunderland and three points more than Norwich. If they lose all their matches and Norwich win against Arsenal, both the teams would end up on same points. But West Brom have a superior goal difference. In short, they are through to the next season for all practical purposes.
The H2H statistics between these teams bring good news for Norwich. Sunderland have not managed a win against West Brom in the last eight games. In fact, they lost seven of these matches.
None of these teams have any major injury worries. Connor Wickham and Fabio Borini will look forward to lead the Sunderland’s resurgence.
Sunderland-West Bromwich Albion Prediction
All is set for Sunderland’s Houdini act to stay alive for another season. Their current form makes them the favourites to win this fixture.
