Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against Blackburn Rovers. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Blackburn Rovers who had 22 attempts and 6 on target.
Their boss Tony Mowbray has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 5 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Stadium of Light.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Jack Clarke will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sunderland.
Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their home fixture against Coventry City. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Coventry City's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 11, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Cardiff City, Aaron Ramsey will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 0-1 win for Sunderland.
Playing at home, Sunderland have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Cardiff.
Sunderland has a poor track record in the league when they host Cardiff, losing in their last 2 home games.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ajibola Alese (Unknown), Dennis Cirkin (Muscle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Jay Matete (Knee surgery), Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament) and Nazariy Rusyn (Personal reasons) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Josh Bowler (Calf) and Callum O'Dowda (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Erol Bulut will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
