Promotion chasers Sunderland will be tested by relegation-threatened Portsmouth in a Championship matchday 26 fixture on Sunday. This match at the Stadium of Light between the fourth-placed Black Cats and the 21st-placed Pompey comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.

The hosts have 47 points from 25 matches and start this round two points behind second-placed Burnley, while the visitors have 23 points and are one point above the bottom three, having played 23 matches.

Sunderland won 2-1 at home against Sheffield United on Wednesday, boosting their chances of a top-two finish. The Black Cats will hope for some consistency in their results, having won just four times across the last 13 matches. That said, teams have struggled visiting this venue, as Sunderland remain unbeaten in 12 league matches this season, winning eight and drawing four.

Portsmouth moved out of the relegation zone with a stunning 4-0 win at home against Swansea City last Sunday. Recent form looks impressive as they have four wins and two draws across the last nine league games, boosting their chances of avoiding the drop.

The visitors still need to address their defensive concerns, having conceded 40 goals this league season. That has played a big part in their poor away form, as Portsmouth lost four of their last five away matches.
