Game Preview
One of the biggest matches of the season in the Premier League is set for this weekend, as Newcastle and Sunderland collide. There will be pressure on the Magpies to bounce back following a heavy loss in the Champions League in midweek against Barcelona.
However, their domestic form has picked up in recent weeks, winning each of their last two, and three of their last five. A late charge for a European spot could yet be on the agenda this term, as the Magpies sit just six points off the top six.
Sunderland have gone in the opposite direction after enjoying a red-hot start to the campaign. The Black Cats have now failed to win in four of their last five, which has seen them drop to 13th in the standings.
Confidence will be gained from Sunderland’s most recent away outing, beating Leeds 1-0. However, the Black Cats haven’t won successive Premier League matches on the road since May 2014.
Newcastle will need to hold their nerve on Sunday, as they have dropped the second-most points from winning positions in the Premier League this term. However, Anthony Gordon could be a key player, as the forward has netted in his last two EPL appearances.
Newcastle vs. Sunderland Picks
Sunderland may hold the head-to-head advantage, but Newcastle look like excellent value to respond to a disastrous showing against Barcelona in midweek.
