Sunderland’s form finally recognised as Premier League relegation prediction made by supercomputer
Sunderland are starting to get the recognition they deserve in the Premier League.
Sunderland’s 1-0 win away to Forest was their first victory on the road this season, and their third overall since returning to the Premier League.
Regis Le Bris has done an excellent job at Sunderland, as showcased by the fact that the Black Cats are sitting inside the top five after six games.
However, despite their impressive form, they have not received anywhere near enough recognition, until now, with a new prediction made.
Supercomputer predicts Sunderland final position
Sunderland have been predicted to go down by just about everyone this season, whether it was before the season started or even after they started well.
However, week after week, the Black Cats have showcased the quality they have in their side, and have finally been recognised for their form
Via Opta, Sunderland are now predicted to finish 17th in the Premier League, with West Ham, Burnley and Wolves below them.
The Black Cats’ chance of relegation has been reduced to just 30 per cent, with a points tally of 41 expected come the end of the campaign.
Should that be the case, it would see Sunderland finish four points above the drop zone, and level with Leeds, who are also predicted to stay in the top flight.

Regis Le Bris can achieve something special with Sunderland
Sunderland’s main goal is to stay in the division; anything after that is a bonus.
However, after six games, Sunderland have shown that they can be more than competitive, and while many will look at the positions of those they have faced, it holds little value.
Liverpool have just lost away to Crystal Palace, where Sunderland got a point, while Villa have just picked up all three points against Fulham.
If Regis Le Bris can keep his side playing the way they are now, they will be fine come the end of the season, and maintaining the form at the Stadium of Light will be crucial to achieving that.
