Sunderland 0-0 West Brom

Current streaks

Recent form

Sunderland

Sunderland have shown a solid run of form recently, going unbeaten in their last six matches with two wins and four consecutive draws. This impressive streak has propelled them to the top of the Championship table with 32 points from 16 games. The Black Cats have been particularly stingy in defence, conceding just four goals in their last six outings and keeping three clean sheets. Their goal-scoring prowess has been consistent, if not spectacular, with an average of 1.17 goals per game. Notably, Sunderland haven't tasted defeat in their last nine matches, demonstrating remarkable resilience. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring affairs, the team's ability to grind out results is evident, with 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. This balanced approach has served Sunderland well, as they continue to solidify their position at the summit of the league.

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have been displaying a remarkable level of consistency in their recent fixtures, with an impressive unbeaten run stretching to eight games. However, their inability to convert draws into wins is evident, as five of their last six matches have ended in stalemates. The Baggies have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last six outings and conceding an average of just 0.67 goals per game. Their attacking prowess, however, seems to be lacking, with only 0.83 goals scored per game on average. The team's matches have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last six games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. West Brom's most recent match against Norwich City broke this trend, ending in a 2-2 draw, which was their highest-scoring game in this period. Despite their current sixth position in the league, the Baggies' abundance of draws suggests they are struggling to transform their solid defensive performances into decisive victories.

Recent home/away form

Sunderland

Sunderland have been in impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats have secured four victories and two draws during this period, demonstrating their strength on home turf. Notably, they enjoyed a run of three consecutive wins against Burnley, Middlesbrough, and Derby County, all with clean sheets. Their defensive prowess is evident, having conceded only four goals in six games and keeping four clean sheets. While not particularly high-scoring, Sunderland have been consistent in attack, netting twice in three of their last four home fixtures. The team's solid performances have contributed to their position at the top of the Championship table, with an average of 1.67 goals scored per game at home and a miserly 0.67 goals conceded per game.

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have shown mixed form away from home in their recent Championship fixtures, with their last six away games yielding two wins, three draws, and one defeat. The Baggies have been relatively solid defensively, conceding only six goals in these matches and keeping two clean sheets. Their most recent away victory against Hull City ended a four-match winless streak on the road, which included three consecutive draws. West Brom's attacking prowess has been evident, scoring nine goals in their last six away games, with a particularly impressive 3-0 win at Portsmouth. The team's ability to find the net consistently is reflected in the fact that both teams scored in 67% of these matches. Interestingly, their away games have been evenly split between high-scoring affairs and tighter contests, with half of the matches seeing over 2.5 goals.
