Sunderland have reached crunch time in their quest to be automatically promoted from League One – and need to bounce back swiftly from their first 90-minute defeat of 2019.
The Black Cats are in what has become a five-way scrap for the two direct places in next season’s Championship, with Luton remaining hot favourites to claim the title and Barnsley, Portsmouth and Charlton also holding every chance of going straight up.
Last weekend, Sunderland were overtaken for second position by Barnsley as their 23-match unbeaten run in all competitions ended with a remarkable 5-4 home loss to Coventry, but they have a game in hand on the Tykes which will be played just before the season’s final fixtures.
That was also a first home league defeat of the campaign for Jack Ross’ side, who have been given what has turned out to be a difficult run-in especially as their two Easter fixtures are against teams fighting to clinch almost certainly the last of the play-off positions.
Doncaster currently hold that all-important sixth place after a four-game winning run, but they are battling with Peterborough who will be Sunderland’s hosts on Easter Monday.
Rovers’ current form makes them tough opponents here, but Sunderland have been very solid for most of the season and especially at home and so they are backed to boost their automatic promotion hopes with a victory.
