Sunderland vs Derby Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 1st October 2024

Sunderland are in with a good chance of adding three nice points to their total in round 8 of the Championship this coming Tuesday. They will be disappointed if they do not beat Derby, whom they welcome on home soil at Stadium of Light.

Sunderland are number 2 in the table on 15 points after seven matches. Derby rank as number 13 with nine points after seven matches played.

The last time Sunderland played Derby, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win this coming Tuesday.

Sunderland go into their next Championship match, scoring a humble average of 1.4 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 14 times, while conceding ten. That amounts to an average of one per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Derby are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 14 goals, and while Derby claimed four clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.4 goals per match.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 1-4 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Tuesday.
