A visit to the 'Stadium Of Light' for The Seasiders after a period of inactivity due to the wintry weather conditions postponing their last two home games. Sunderland return home after an away defeat at Old Trafford on Boxing Day. They are unbeaten at home. A fact that The Seasiders will brush aside. The spread suggests a classic encounter. Sunderland seemingly like Stoke & Bolton before them ... missing clear chance. The Seasiders appear to have the gods on their side in this game. But ... miss chances may well contribute to a probable draw in this game? It's not a clear cut advantage to either side according to this spread ... wishful thinking suggests at least a point for The Seasiders; as their lack of match play over Boxing Day may prove to be an advantage?
UPDATE 30th December 2010 ... The Seasiders certainly did brush aside Sunderland's unbeaten home record. They certainly did have the gods on their side with Sunderland missing around 30 clear cut chances .... !!!
