Southampton vs Sunderland




A year ago the odds for this fixture would have been completely different; Southampton were one of the newcomers amongst the elites whereas Sunderland were considered a solid mid-table club which with some luck could give Europe a run. Turn the clock forward a year and the bookies are looking at Southampton as clear favourites with super returns on a Sunderland win.

Some facts; Southampton have brought in some very good talent to an already fairly strong squad. The likes of Wanayama and Osvaldo bring international clout and experts are predicting they will be lurking just behind the big 6. They clinched 3 points away against WBA in their season opener, through a last minute penalty.

Sunderland and Di Canio spent most summer in the transfer booth and the home loss against Fulham showed that the likes of Altidore, Giaccherini and Cabral need time to gel with the other players. Nonetheless, notwithstanding the 1-0 defeat, they did shoot 21 times albeit only 3 times at goal.

We are presented with odds which point towards a Southampton easy win. I say they are completely flawed. Sunderland will react; Di Canio will be shouting and hustling from get go and if they lads show some passion I cannot see why they cannot get a result at St. Mary`s. Medium-low level stakes on a Sunderland win with the protection on a draw.
