Sunderland 1-0 Millwall

Current streaks

Recent form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Black Cats struggling to maintain a steady run of results. Despite sitting in a respectable 4th position in the Championship, their last six matches have seen them alternate between wins and losses, with a solitary draw against Preston. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded in each of their last six games and failing to keep a clean sheet during this period. Whilst their attack has managed to find the net in five out of six matches, they've been outscored by their opponents overall, with a negative goal difference of -3. The Wearside outfit have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their most recent outing, a 3-0 defeat to Coventry City, marked their heaviest loss in this run and could be a cause for concern as they look to secure their playoff position.

Millwall

Millwall's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches. The Lions have managed three victories and suffered three defeats during this period, demonstrating their inability to string together consecutive positive results. Defensively, Millwall have struggled, conceding eight goals in six games, with only two clean sheets. Their attack has also been lacklustre, scoring just five goals at an average of 0.83 per match. The majority of their recent fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed form, Millwall find themselves in 11th position in the Championship, suggesting they have been able to maintain a relatively stable mid-table position despite their recent inconsistencies.

Recent home/away form

Sunderland

Sunderland's recent home form has been mixed, with the Black Cats struggling to convert draws into wins at the Stadium of Light. In their last six home matches, they have managed two victories, three draws, and one defeat, showing resilience but lacking consistency. The team have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with three of their last six home games ending 2-2, suggesting an entertaining brand of football for the fans. Defensively, Sunderland have room for improvement, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. However, their attacking prowess is evident, scoring in five out of six matches and averaging 1.5 goals per game. The team's ability to find the net has contributed to both teams scoring in 67% of these fixtures, making for exciting contests. With Sunderland currently sitting in 4th position in the Championship, their home form could be crucial in their push for promotion.

Millwall

Millwall's recent away form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Lions have struggled defensively, conceding an average of two goals per game and keeping only one clean sheet during this period. Their heaviest defeat came in a high-scoring encounter against Plymouth Argyle, where they conceded five goals. Despite their defensive woes, Millwall have managed to find the back of the net in five out of six away games, with both teams scoring in 67% of these matches. Their goal difference of -6 over these six games highlights their defensive vulnerabilities, which have likely contributed to their mid-table position in the Championship. Interestingly, their away games have been evenly split between low-scoring affairs (under 2.5 goals) and more open encounters (over 2.5 goals), suggesting a degree of unpredictability in their performances.
