David Moyes’ men may have defeated Hull City by a 2-0 scoreline last time out in the English top-flight, which did Swansea a huge favour in the relegation battle, but the visitors will hope lightning doesn’t strike twice as we highlight in our Sunderland vs Swansea preview.
Sunderland have won just one of their last 11 league games, keeping just two clean sheets during that time, with the Black Cats scoring themselves against just Hull and West Ham during the same period.
- Sunderland 2-2 West Ham
- Middlesbrough 1-0 Sunderland
- Sunderland 0-1 Bournemouth
- Hull City 0-2 Sunderland
David Moyes’ men haven’t won at the Stadium of Light since mid-December, but they have managed draws against Liverpool, Tottenham, Burnley and West Ham since then.
Swansea, meanwhile, have been dreadful on the road in the Premier League. Under Paul Clement, they last won on their travels back in the 21st of January, but this shouldn’t prove too relevant to our Sunderland vs Swansea picks.
- Watford 1-0 Swansea
- Swansea 2-0 Stoke
- Man United 1-1 Swansea
- Swansea 1-0 Everton
In the last three games, however, the Swans have kicked on due to the threat of relegation being rather imminent at this point. The Welsh club sit on 35 points, just one above 18th-placed Hull.
Sunderland have nothing to play for but pride, after their relegation from the division was already confirmed recently, with Swansea hoping they can continue their good recent form to avoid the drop and live up to our Sunderland vs Swansea predictions.
Tip: Swansea to Win: William Hill (1.83)
