Sunderland have won their last 5 home matches (League One). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Sunderland's last 3 games (League One). Sunderland have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches against Bolton in all competitions. Bolton are undefeated in their last 7 matches against Sunderland in all competitions. Sunderland have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches (League One).
Despite conceding in stoppage-time at Fleetwood last weekend to surrender top-spot, it's still been an excellent start to the season for Sunderland, who responded by progressing to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at Wigan. The Black Cats have been outstanding on the road in the cup, but also have a 100% home record in League One, although that could be seriously put to the test against a Bolton side full of goals. But Ian Evatt's side were brought back down to earth against Rotherham last weekend, their first home defeat of the season. The away side have struggled at home soil, but have collected seven of their 12 points on their travels, although haven't won here in the league since a 4-1 Premier League win back in November 2008. 2:1
Nathan Broadhead will be hoping his opening goal against Wigan in the Carabao Cup will earn his first Sunderland start, but Lee Johnson is likely to revert back to the XI that started at Fleetwood. Ian Evatt could shuffle his pack after watching his side lose to Rotherham on Saturday.
