This is a sandwich spot for Sunderland, ranked third in the English League 1. They have a showdown on deck with second-place Peterborough United with just two points separating the rivals after 35 matches. Sunderland has to head out on the road to face a Bristol Rovers squad that plays best at home, on a 3-2-1 run here with wins over Shrewsbury Town (2-1), 12th-ranked Accrington Stanley (4-1), and eighth-ranked Portsmouth (3-1), so back home field in this one. Play the Bristol Rovers.
