Sunderland vs Blackburn Prediction & Tips
Sunderland entered the campaign with ambitions and hopes of a direct promotion to the elite, boasting a fairly competitive squad capable of meeting high level targets. Furthermore, in the winter transfer window, the club was active in the market and reinforced its squad in a timely manner, adding depth and variability to the squad. However, the realities of the season turned out to be harsher than expected.
Blackburn also started the season with justified hopes of making the playoffs, and for much of the run, Valérien Ismaël’s team actually remained in contention for the top six. However, it all went wrong at the most inopportune moment: the ‘rovers’ went into a negative spiral and were out of the race on the home straight.
