Sunderland will be in the Championship promotion play-offs but are not in good form at present.  They are fourth in the table and on Monday, the Black Cats are home to tenth-placed Blackburn Rovers. Read our match prediction.

With three games remaining, Sunderland are ten points clear of seventh position. However, they come into this game having lost their last two league fixtures. Their most recent match saw them lose a lead and go down 2-1 at Bristol City.

They have only earned one point from their last three league matches, failing to score in two of them. Home form has produced 12 league wins this season but 21 games have only seen 48 goals scored.

Blackburn Rovers have won their last two league matches. It looks all too late though as they are seven points behind the final promotion play-off position. On Friday they beat Millwall 4-1 at home. That followed a 1-0 away win at relegation-threatened Luton Town.

Away form for Rovers has seen them win six matches in the Championship but 11 have been lost. Only 41 goals have been scored in their 21 away league fixtures. The last three have all had under 2.5 goals scored in them.

We tip that statistic to come up again this weekend.

Our Sunderland vs Blackburn Prediction

Sunderland will be in the play-offs and one more point will guarantee a fourth place finish. They will need to get back into form though if they want to return to the Premier League after two successive defeats.

Blackburn need to win their last three league games and even that is unlikely to take them into the play-offs. They had lost seven out of eight league fixtures before those two wins. Away form has been inconsistent with 11 defeats.

Our Sunderland v Blackburn prediction is under 2.5 goals to be scored.
