In my opinion Blackburn have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.

Blackburn coming for this game with good mental advantage before in first match of the season between both teams they recorded comfortable 2:0 win at home.

In the midweek Blackburn have been knocked out of EFL Cup by Nottingham from Premier League, but manager Jon Dahl Tomasson not used his best players so for me this result don't have big value. Today we will see the strongest possible line up and I expect big improvement. In last league match Blackburn played on the road against strong Norwich (5th in league table) and they recorded big 2:0 win. I'm sure guests coming for this game without any fear.

In my eyes Sunderland is extremely overrated in this game. In current season they failed to win in 8 of 11 home league so for me is hard to see them as a fav today. Sunderland scored 31 goals, but according to the expected goals scored model they should score only 24.3. It's big difference. In addition to that, hosts today will play witnout three key players: central midfielder Embleton, central defender Barth and offensive midfielder Pritchard. That should have very bad impact on their performance today. Sunderland in last round match looked poor on away against Hull and luckily avoided loss (1:1): expected goals scored for Hull 2.22, for Sunderland 0.64.

All in all, I see excellent chances for guests to make at least one point today.

在我看来，布莱克本很有机会在今天的比赛中至少得一分。

布莱克本带着良好的心理优势来参加这场比赛，在本赛季两队的第一场比赛中，他们在主场以2:0轻松获胜。

在周中，布莱克本在英超联赛中被诺丁汉淘汰出了EFL杯，但是主教练乔恩·达尔·托马森没有使用他最好的球员，所以对我来说这个结果没有太大的价值。今天我们将看到最强的阵容，我预计会有很大的改善。在上一场联赛中，布莱克本客场对阵强大的诺维奇(排名第五)，他们取得了2:0的大胜。我相信客人们会毫无顾忌地前来观看这场比赛。

在我看来桑德兰在这场比赛中被高估了。在本赛季，他们在11个主场联赛中有8个没有赢球，所以对我来说，他们现在很难被看好。桑德兰进了31个球，但根据预期进球数模型，他们应该只有24.3个。差别很大。除此之外，东道主今天将有三名关键球员出场:中前卫Embleton，中后卫Barth和进攻型中场Pritchard。这应该会对他们今天的表现产生非常糟糕的影响。桑德兰在上一轮对阵赫尔城的比赛中表现不佳，幸运地避免了输球(1:1):赫尔城的预期进球数为2.22，桑德兰的预期进球数为0.64。

总而言之，我认为今天的来宾们有极好的机会至少提出一个观点。
