Norwich City v Sunderland result predicted by supercomputer
Sunderland will continue their promotion push on Tuesday when they travel to face Norwich City.
The Black Cats currently sit fourth in the Championship after picking up an impressive 1-0 win against West Brom at the weekend, with Trai Hume scoring the only goal of the game.
It helped to solidify their place in the top six, while pushing the Baggies further away from the playoff positions in the process.
However, they’re now set to face another team looking to secure a place in the playoffs on Tuesday, but Norwich needs some consistent results between now and the end of the season to make a late surge.
They’re currently eight points away from the playoff spots, and closing that gap will take an impressive run of form to end the season.
Sunderland want to take another step toward promotion
Norwich head into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat against Plymouth Argyle, which is putting a lot of pressure on them heading into this fixture.
However, the Opta supercomputer is giving them a better chance of winning this game at 38.1 per cent, despite being lower in the table and losing their previous match.
The fact Norwich are playing at home is likely a key factor in that prediction, with Sunderland having a 35.4 per cent chance of taking three points back home with them.
However, a draw is technically the most likely outcome of this particular fixture, which showcases that this is expected to be a tight game.
| League position | Games Played | Won | Goal Difference | Points |
| 4. Sunderland | 40 | 21 | +20 | 75 |
Regis Le Bris’ men have won their previous two matches by one goal to nil, showcasing their ability to grind out a result, and the travelling supporters will be hoping to see that replicated in this fixture.
The Black Cats won the reverse fixture at the Stadium of Light 2-1 as Jobe Bellingham scored the winner just two minutes after Norwich went down to 10 men.
Sunderland want to secure their playoff spot
Sunderland appear to have all but wrapped up a playoff position for themselves this season with 75 points, as they sit 16 points ahead of seventh place.
However, supporters will want the team to keep pushing to ensure the team are guaranteed an opportunity to push for promotion.
Le Bris’ side are now actually closer to overtaking Leeds United than anything else, as they are now just seven points behind the Yorkshire giants as Sunderland aim to place as much pressure on them as possible.
