Head to Head Stats

Prediction

  • Sunderland will head into this edition of the Tyne-Wear Derby with sizeable confidence, after two wins and a draw in their last three matches under new boss Michael Beale.
  • The hosts have not lost any of the last nine meetings between these two sides.
  • Newcastle head to the Stadium of Light in their worst form for more than a year. Eddie Howe's side have now lost seven of their last eight matches in all competitions.
  • The visitors continue to struggle away from home, too. Of the 15 matches they have played on the road this term, they have won just two.
  • Expect a feisty affair, with goals at both ends.
  • Newcastle's quality, despite their absentees, should see them prevail.

    Newcastle have a terrible recent record against Sunderland. It adds pressure. The fans know it and the players know it. Don't be surprised if Newcastle fail to win.
