The hosts have played many draws in recent matches, which is why they have lost quite a lot of points. This time they need to win in order not to fall out of the top three. We believe that the hosts are currently stronger than West Bromwich, which is proven by the results of personal meetings - the last three matches ended in favor of Sunderland. Most likely, the "black cats" will be stronger now.
