A huge game for both the sides as Sunderland take on Newcastle united in the Tyne side derby and this is a game which holds a great significance in the English football. Newcastle united have been playing really well in the league this season, although their form has kind of taken a dip but they are still a strong side and they will be looking to keep the good run of form going against a very difficult Sunderland side who are starting to play good football towards the end of the season.
If we look at the past 5 meetings between the two teams, we can see that Newcastle United are the better side of the two, they have won 3 matches in the last 5 games between the two while remaing two games were drawn and they are very strong at home that makes them the favourite for this game.
Newcastle United have dropped points in the last two games, first they got hammered by Spurs in the league by 5-0 and than they drew their game Wolves and they will be eager to get back to track when they host Sunderland who got into the quarterfinals of the FA Cup and coming into this game on the back of a defeat against West Brom.
