History of the Sunderland v Wimbledon fixture

Sunderland are ready to welcome Wimbledon to Stadium Of Light on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 4 games played, Black Cats have recorded 2 wins, and Wimbledon have come away with 1 victories.

The previous match played between the two at Stadium Of Light was more than three years back, in April 2000, the Black Cats carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Sunderland remain unbeaten in their last six home games, though five of those have been draws. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 3 to 2.

Wimbledon have an average recent record on the road, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Dons have hit 5 goals, 14 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Sunderland's 35 points from 23 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Wimbledon find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 23 games have yielded only 14 points.

FootyMad's prediction ...

The current home form displayed by Sunderland is obviously none too clever, but, with the current standing of Wimbledon, I firmly believe this match can only produce a victory for the Black Cats. Home Win
