One Tuesday night, Sunderland host Burton Albion at the Stadium of Light in League One, as the Black Cats look to return to the automatic play-off spots.

Sunderland are currently third place in the League One table, only behind second place Barnsley by virtue of an inferior goal difference of one. However, the Black Cats have two games in hand on the Yorkshire outfit.

The home side are unbeaten in 18 league games, having recorded three straight victories in League One. Last time out in the league, Jack Ross’ side recorded a 2-1 win at Rochdale. The win at Spotland means the Black Cats have scored at least two goals in their last three league outings.

Sunderland are unbeaten at the Stadium of Light this season, which means they are undefeated on home soil in League One. The Black Cats have won four of their last six home games while scoring at least two goals in their last four league matches at the Stadium of Light.

Burton Albion are currently tenth place in the League One table, ten points adrift of the play-off positions, despite a decent run of form. The visitors have won four of their last five league outings while scoring at least two goals in all four victories. Last time out in League One, Burton recorded a 3-1 home win over promotion-chasing Barnsley.

A 2-1 defeat at Charlton in their last League One away game ended an eight-match unbeaten run in the third tier for Nigel Clough’s side. One encouraging factor for Burton heading into this clash is that they have won the last two meetings with the north east team, scoring at least twice in both wins.

Forebet predicts that Sunderland will record a victory in a high scoring clash to enhance their chances of winning automatic promotion.
