PLYMOUTH ARGYLE- SUNDERLAND


I favour the visitors to take something from their longest away trip of this, or any other season.


Since Roy Keane's arrival, Sunderland have slowly, but surely turned their season around and now sit 2 points off the play-offs and only 6 away from an automatic return to the Premiership. They have won 4 from 6, including away games at Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday and are unbeaten in 4.


The squad will be boosted by the return of Miller and Connolly. They face 3 of the top 4 in the next month, in a run of fixtures which will define how far, they have really come. Pretty sure they will go for it today and only Birmingham and Southampton have scored more away goals.


Argyle are struggling to keep a clean sheet and will be further handicaped by the suspension of both centre backs and also top scorer Barry Hayles. They have conceded more goals at home, than any side in the top half of the table and are significantly weaker at the back today. Away win for me.


4 points Sunderland level ball 2.075 asian line.


Back later.
