Recent respective form guides
Sunderland's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Black Cats have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Newcastle Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Magpies have hit 5 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Sunderland find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 33 games have yielded only 12 points. Newcastle Utd.'s 48 points from 34 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Black Cats at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Magpies come away with an easy victory. Away win
