Sunderland 2/1 to win Tynewear derby against fierce rivals Newcastle this afternoon

Competition: Premier League
Market: Sunderland to win against Newcastle
Odds: 2/1 @ Coral

Sunderland have a difficult clash this afternoon, with the Black Cats travelling to face fierce rivals Newcastle in the first Tynewear derby of the Premier League season. Gus Poyet’s men haven’t been in the best form of late either, failing to win in any of their last six games, while Newcastle have won six of their previous nine.

The visitors have a better record in past meetings too, winning the last three derby games, twice at St James’ Park. But Sunderland have been drawing the majority of their league matches, which means today’s meeting somewhat hangs in the balance.

Away from home, Gus Poyet’s men have been impressive, losing only once from their last five on the road. But Newcastle’s home form (four consecutive league wins) means today’s derby game will certainly be competitive.

Coral, however, are giving odds of 2/1 for Sunderland to continue their winning ways over Newcastle, which will see them climb up the table. Goals have been hard to come by, but Tynewear derbies always get the best from the Black Cats.
