Sunderland vs Sheffield Wednesday
England – League One
Date: Friday, 6 May 2022
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadium of Light.
Sunderland welcomes Sheffield Wednesday for the second semifinal of League One semi final on Friday.
The Black Cats finished fifth in the table. This is a solitary point behind their opponents.
The regular season has been hot and cold for Sunderland, but head-coach Alex Neil inspired them to a 13 match unbeaten run in the end to cement a place inside the top six.
Sunderland will be looking to end their four year long stay in League One, having suffered back-to-back relegations from Premier League since 2016/17 season.
On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday were consistent in this run. However their form since February is commendable with the team losing just 2 of the last 15.
Darren Moore who took over a relegation bound Sheffield Wednesday in Championship at the end of last season will be eager to guide them back to second tier in his first full season at the club.
Both teams have gathered momentum at the end of the campaign and this will be nothing less than an entertaining battle.
Sunderland have been slightly better at home in recent months, won 5 and drew 1 since they lost to MK Dons in mid February. Therefore, we can back them to take at least a draw from this fixture to the penultimate tie next week.
Both teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals offer excellent value with these two teams rarely missing to find the target in the last two months.
