Sunday is a massive day for fans of Sunderland and Newcastle. This weekend, one of the biggest derbies in the English game renews for only the second time since 2016. This will be the first EPL meeting between the Black Cats and the Magpies in nearly a decade. Regardless of what happens in the game, what is guaranteed is a booming atmosphere at Stadium of Light, where the hosts will be hoping to take advantage of the fact that they've had longer to prepare for this game. No team has gone into Sunderland's backyard and had it easy this season, so do not be surprised if the hosts cause an upset here.
Let's face it, the visitors are strong, and they know how to get results, but they had the inconvenience of playing away in Germany on Wednesday evening, and it's not as if they looked secure at the back on that occasion. Will their busy schedule catch up with them at the home of their fiercest rivals? We'll soon find out.

Our Sunderland vs Newcastle Prediction
As far as I'm concerned, Bertrand Traore is not getting the respect that he deserves, but that suits me. I'll take the generous odds on him to work the Newcastle keeper at least one all day long. Thanks very much. Let's face it, Traore has been in decent form of late, and he looked very hungry when Sunderland last played at home, firing off three shots, hitting the target with two, scoring one goal.
This season, no Sunderland player has done a better job in terms of shots on target per 90 than Traore, who averages 1.00 shot on target per 90 minutes in the EPL. Take odds of +105 and run, that's my advice.
Our Sunderland vs Newcastle Pick: Bertrand Traore 1+ Shots on Target.
