Early EFL Championship leaders Sunderland have been flying high thus far. And this Saturday they look to continue that great form as they travel to take on Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle.
These two sides have met 35 times in their histories.
Sunderland have the advantage over Plymouth having won 20 of those games to Plymouth’s 10 wins. In that time there has also been 5 draws.
The last game ended in a 3-1 Sunderland victory in February. Will the same happen here?
Plymouth may not have any major injury issues in this game but they will be without Freddie Issaka who is still suspended.
Sunderland on the other hand will be without both Jenson Seelt and Ajibola Alese through injury.
Plymouth Argyle - Conor Hazard, Joe Edwards, Lewis Gibson, Julio Pleguezuelo, Bali Mumba, Adam Randell, Kornel Szucs, Morgan Whittaker, Darko Gyabi, Ibrahim Cissoko, Ryan Hardie
Sunderland - Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Luke O'Nien, Daniel Ballard, Dennis Cirkin, Alan Browne, Chris Rigg, Patrick Roberts, Jobe Bellingham, Romaine Mundle, Eliezer Mayenda
With Sunderland’s great form this season all of their players have been standout. However it is Eliezer Mayenda that has impressed us the most and who we think will have a big impact in this match.
Mayenda has played 4 games so far this season and has registered 2 goals and 2 assists. With at least 1 goal involvement each game we would expect him to create something again in this game. Especially against what is an incredibly weak Plymouth side.
Coming into this game it is clear that Sunderland will be expected to win. They are on great form and playing good football while they are at it.
Plymouth on the other hand are greatly struggling. We would expect that to continue in this match.
Ultimately, it is hard to argue with our tipping experts who are backing Sunderland To Win at odds of 5/6 in this game. £10 having the potential to return up to £18.33.
Plymouth Argyle vs Sunderland kicks off at 15:00 pm on Saturday 14th September 2024. However, due to the 3pm Blackout in the UK this game is unavailable to watch live.
