Sunderland [16] vs Bolton [13]. Just 2 points seperate these 2 in the bottom half of the league. Bolton are enjoying a good spell recently with back 2 back wins against Wolves and West Ham. Sunderland on the other hand haven't won a game in 2010, they last won at home was in Nov 2009 where they beat Arsenal 1-0. They are slowly sinking into the relegation zone. Its not that Sunderland are playing poorly but they just lack of luck and fail to kill off weaker opponents especially at home. Sunderland have drawn the most home games in the league. Recently they drew with Stoke, Wigan, Fulham and Portsmouth. I think Sunderland will find Bolton hard to beat too. Both these 2 have a similiar style of play where they rely heavily on the long balls from defense to their target man like Jones & Bent for Sunderland and Davies & Elmander for Bolton. Looks like they will cancel each other out and play out a boring draw. Pick: DRAW. Posted on Mar-09-2010 at 08:48 CET |
