Sunderland vs Fulham Prediction and Betting Tips | 8th February 2023

Sunderland host Fulham at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday in the FA Cup fourth-round replay, looking to pull off a huge upset.

The sides played out a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage last weekend, with Jack Clarke's sixth-minute opener for the Black Cats canceled out by Tom Cairney after the hour mark.

Just days later, Tony Mowbray's side were involved in another 1-1 stalemate, this time against Millwall in the EFL Championship, as Dennis Cirkin snatched a point for Sunderland with an 81st-minute equalizer.

With 42 points from 29 games, they are now in ninth position in the league table, but only four points behind the promotion playoff spots.

Fulham, back in the Premier League following a year in the Championship, are going through a rough patch right now, failing to win their last four games in all competitions.

But after the FA Cup draw, the Cottagers held Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League and sit in eighth position with 32 points from 22 top-flight matches.

Sitting 14 points clear of the relegation zone, the London outfit seem to have secured another season in the league.
