Following two straight slip ups, Sunderland are in danger of missing out on an automatic promotion spot. Can they return to winning ways this Friday?

PaddyPower Pre-Match Odds: Sunderland 4/5, Draw 13/5, Doncaster 16/5

 

A 1-1 home draw with Burton and a 4-5 home defeat to Coventry have left the Black Cats two points off second-placed Barnsley and seven points away from league leaders Luton. 

 

Sunderland may have played a game less than both of these teams however, with the North East side in poor form, it’s not guaranteed that they will take all three points from that game in hand. 

 

Their focus will be on Doncaster this Friday night as they look to get back on track. However, that may be a lot easier said than done. 

 

Doncaster are heading into this game on the back of four straight league victories. What’s more, Grant McCann’s men will be desperate to hang on to their play-off position. 

 

Looking at the betting, the recommendation is to back the away side. At the outright price of 15/4, the visitors offer tremendous value. What’s more, they’re taking on a side who have only kept one home clean sheet in eight games. 

 

Recommendation

Doncaster to win and both teams to score – 15/2 bet365
