Another exciting fixture of Matchweek 16 will be held at the Stadium of Light — Sunderland vs Newcastle United.

Despite recent setbacks, Sunderland still holds the reputation of being a “tough nut to crack” for any opponent. The club sits 9th in the Premier League table with 23 points earned across 15 matches.

Newcastle United deserves praise as well. In earlier previews, I noted that Newcastle lacked only luck — their squad quality and form were already at a high level. Now that luck has finally turned in their favour, results have followed: the team is unbeaten in four matches, winning three of them.

Prediction for the Sunderland vs Newcastle United

After the Crystal Palace vs Manchester City clash, this match should be the second most intense battle of the week. The teams are direct table neighbours, and a victory here will push the winner several positions upward. As for the outcome — I believe in Newcastle’s momentum, so my recommended pick is a win for Newcastle United.
