A poor run of form has derailed a dream Premier League return for Sunderland, according to the bookmakers. Just one win in seven has resulted in the Black Cats surrendering their play-off spot.
Ross Stewart’s season-ending injury has proven fatal for Sunderland, who now sit seven points outside the top six despite occupying fourth spot at the turn of the year. SkyBet are offering a whopping 100/1 for Sunderland to secure Championship promotion.
For context, the Black Cats were priced at 6/1 at the start of the campaign. Bizarrely, Tony Mowbray’s side, currently 13 points above the drop zone, are just 14/5 to be relegated.
