The bookmakers believes Sunderland are the outsiders when it comes to promotion via the League One play-offs this season. The Black Cats have twice fallen at the play-off hurdle during their time in the third tier.
Jack Ross guided the Wearsiders to the play-off final where they were beaten by Charlton and Lee Johnson's side were beaten in the semi-final by Lincoln City last season. Alex Neil knows his side have a poor record in the play-offs but the Sunderland head coach has done a fine job at grinding out results since his arrival.
According to oddschecker, Sheffield Wednesday are the favourites to win promotion at 2/1 , while the Black Cats are 3/1. Both sides have one one game apiece this season when it comes to head-to-head fixtures.
