Sunderland vs Bristol City Prediction and Betting Tips | February 18, 2023 

Sunderland host Bristol City at the Stadium of Light in the EFL Championship on Saturday (February 18), looking to extend their unbeaten league run to five games.

Since losing 3-1 to Swansea City at home, the Black Cats have won three of their next four games and drawn once, picking up ten points from a possible 12. That has seen them climb up to fifth in the standings with 48 points from 31 games as Tony Mowbray's side's push for a Premier League return continues.

Bristol, meanwhile, are down in 16th place with just ten wins from 31 games and 40 points on the board. They're ten points clear of the relegation zone, so the alarm bells haven't gone off yet.

The Robins are unbeaten in their last seven league games but recently saw their three-game winning run across competitions end with a 1-1 draw to Wigan Athletic.
