History of the Sunderland v Middlesbrough fixture

Sunderland are ready to welcome Middlesbrough to Stadium Of Light on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Black Cats are clearly on top, having won 37 and lost only 10 of the 65 games.

The previous match played between the two at Stadium Of Light was within the last three years, in February 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Premiership match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Sunderland at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Black Cats will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Sequence statistics:
Sunderland 4 games since last home draw.
Not drawn a match in their last 6 .
Middlesbrough Not won in previous 8 away matches.
No win in the 2 most recent games.
