Sunderland 5/6 to get relegated this season

Competition: Premier League
Market: Sunderland to get relegated
Odds: 5/6 @ Betfair

Despite an impressive late showing in the 2-1 defeat to Liverpool, Sunderland remain in big trouble of the drop. Gus Poyet’s men are currently 19th in the table, with 25 points from 29 games. Despite having games in hand against their relegation rivals, Sunderland are in woeful form of late – winless in their last five games.

Scoring just two goals in their last five matches has seen them now four points adrift of safety. Maximum points from their games in hand would see them out of trouble, but West Ham & Tottenham Hotspur are their next two opponents.

Sunderland’s remaining games

31/03/14 – West Ham United (home)
07/04/14 – Tottenham Hotspur (away)
12/04/14 – Everton (home)
16/04/14 – Manchester City (away)
20/04/14 – Chelsea (away)
27/04/14 – Cardiff City (home)
03/05/14 – Manchester United (away)
07/05/14 – West Bromwich Albion (home)
11/05/14 – Swansea City (home)

Poyet has a huge task to get enough points from the remaining matches, considering five of their nine opponents are sides in the top-7 of the Premier League. They’ve beaten just two sides out of the nine in earlier meetings this season.
