AliousSunderland are once again looking to bounce back from a disappointing result in the Championship. But they remain in a very strong position in the race for promotion to the Premier League.
Last time out, Sunderland drew 2-2 with Watford at the Stadium of Light, in another game where Regis Le Bris’ side threw away vital points in the race for promotionFor Black Cats fans, there was a lot to criticise about the last outing. Dennis Cirkin was poor against Watford whilst Le Bris has critics once again for his persistent trait of sitting back when leading games.
Nonetheless, the Black Cats remain in 4th place of the Championship table. That’s compared to Luton Town under new manager Matt Bloomfield who sit in 23rd place.
The Hatters have really struggled since their relegation from the Premier League last time round. Luton are winless in nine but drew 1-1 at Sheffield Wednesday in their last outingLast time Sunderland played Luton Town was back in October, with Le Bris’ men winning 2-1 on what was a very hard-fought and memorable win at Kenilworth RoadSam Parkin shares Sunderland vs Luton Town score prediction
Speaking on the Championship Check In ahead of the midweek round of fixtures, Championship expert and Sky Sports commentator Sam Parkin gave his verdict on the upcoming game at the Stadium of Light.
And Parkin has predicted yet another draw for the Black Cats who’ve now drawn their last two games at home 2-2; against Watford and Plymouth Argyle.Parkin said: “I spoke of the three home games that Sunderland have got in the next four being pivotal, I think in their automatic promotion challenge, so they need to try and get maximum points here having dropped two points at the weekend.
“I see it being a tricky game, especially with Luton having the rest week… I kind of fancy Luton here, I don’t know why. I’m going to go for another 2-2.”Sunderland vs Luton Town H2H
Sunderland won their last outing between these two ides on what was a really physical battle against Rob Edwards’ side. But Luton are trying to become more of a footballing side under Bloomfield and so Wednesday’s game could be a very different battle to the last.The two sides met in the 2022/23 Championship play-off semi finals. Luton won on their way to promotion but the Black Cats won the first leg on Wearside 2-1.
In fact, Sunderland haven’t lost at home to Luton since 1973. The two teams have met 12 times since 2000: the Black Cats have five wins, with four draws and two Luton wins in that time
