Sunderland head to Fratton Park on Tuesday night for yet another fixture of the rivalry which isn’t really a rivalry. Pompey are in crisis and Sunderland are on a barnstorming run of form, who’s going to come away with all the points in the race for promotion?
Sunderland host Rochdale on Wearside this afternoon following their 1-0 win against Swindon on Tuesday. Can Lee Johnson’s side continue their excellent run of form against the Greater Manchester club?
If you’d bet on Sunderland in every game this season, would you be in profit?
