Sunderland, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over West Bromwich Albion in their last league game, Sunderland will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to West Bromwich Albion, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 4 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, they're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets overall.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
Millwall, Recent FormMillwall will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against Cardiff City. They achieved 37% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Cardiff City's tally of 7 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Millwall, Kevin Nisbet will be looking to add more goals against Sunderland in this match.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Sunderland will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against The Lions having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings.
The last 2 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Sunderland might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 5 encounters.
Sunderland manager Mike Dodds has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ballard (Hamstring), Dennis Cirkin (Hamstring), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament), Niall Huggins (Knee surgery), Timothée Pembélé (Cruciate ligament), Nazariy Rusyn (Calf) and Jenson Seelt (Knee surgery) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Neil Harris has a number of injury concerns in his Millwall squad to contend with: Joe Bryan (Leg), Kevin Nisbet (Hamstring), Murray Wallace (Back) and Duncan Watmore (Leg)
