Recent respective form guides

Sunderland's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Black Cats have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Crystal Pal's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Eagles's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 11 goals for and 10 against.

Sunderland lie just outside the playoff positions in the Nationwide League Division One, picking up 9 points from their 5 games so far. Crystal Pal's total of 10 points from their 5 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Nationwide League Division One.
