Sunderland approach the next Championship round as number seven in the table, having claimed 16 points this season so far. With 11 games behind them, Blackpool amassed 11 points, placing them as number 19 before their next fixture.

Entering the match as a favourite, Sunderland will be highly motivated to extend their unbeaten streak that they currently have in this Championship campaign. They should be in with a decent chance of adding another win to their account. The visitors will undoubtfully make their life as unpleasant as possible, however, they will have it very difficult considering the current form of the hosts.

Sunderland only average a modest 1.5 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 15 goals. They also conceded ten for an average of one per game. They kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Blackpool average 0.9 goals a game in their last ten outing, scoring a total of nine goals. They conceded an average of 1.6 per game, for a total of 16 goals, whilst keeping their opponents from scoring two times.

Sunderland vs Blackpool Prediction

Sunderland look in good shape before their upcoming match, as they seek to remain unbeaten. They started by taking out Reading in a 0-3 win, before a 2-2 draw followed against Watford. Their most recent outing resulted in a 0-0 draw in a hard fought encounter with Preston. Sunderland claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Championship. They also drew three and lost one, scored nine goals and conceded four.

A top half finish seem very possibe for Sunderland who have been a surprise package with a string of good performances.

Blackpool lost their previous three matches by 3-0 against Rotherham, 2-1 against Millwall and 0-1 against Norwich. Blackpool, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the Championship.

Blackpool will probably do well to just fend off relegated this coming season and knowing how much every point counts, they should be ready from the outset.

In our opinion, current form favours Sunderland slightly more than current odds with the bookmakers suggest. We back them to claim a home win against Blackpool this coming Tuesday.

Sunderland took six points from their last five encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Championship table. This amounts to one win after scoring four times and conceding four. Blackpool won two matches and picked up eight points from their last eight encounters with teams in the top half of the Championship. They scored eight goals and conceded 12.
