“It’s really difficult, because everything points towards a Sunderland win, but now they will likely…..” “Shocking Prediction Revealed: Sam Parkin’s BOLD call for QPR vs Sunderland!
Sunderland will visit QPR in the Championship this weekend, aiming to maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table.
After 12 matches this season, Sunderland has established a solid five-point cushion in their pursuit of Premier League promotion. In their most recent game, they secured a commanding 2-0 victory over Oxford United at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats have won their last three Championship matches, while QPR is struggling, having not won any of their last eight league games and currently sitting in 23rd place. The R’s have recorded just one Championship win this season, but they have managed to draw their last two matches, including a 0-0 stalemate against Burnley at Turf Moor.
Sunderland showed interest in QPR manager Marti Cifuentes over the summer, but he has remained in West London, where challenges persist.
Sam Parkin’s Prediction
On the Championship Check-In podcast, pundit and Sky Sports commentator Sam Parkin shared his score prediction for the QPR vs. Sunderland match. To the surprise of co-host Benjamin Bloom, Parkin forecasted a potential setback for Sunderland. He stated, “It’s really difficult because everything points to a Sunderland win, but it has to stop at some point.
“Are they significantly better than everyone else? They have a bit of a cushion now, and I’m not downplaying what an amazing start they’ve had; they play beautifully. But it’s got to run out eventually. I’m going with a goalless draw.”
Head-to-Head: QPR vs Sunderland
QPR hasn’t beaten Sunderland since 2018, with the Black Cats winning two of the last five encounters and the other three ending in draws. Last September, Sunderland defeated QPR 3-1 at Loftus Road, thanks to goals from Jack Clarke, Dan Ballard, and Abdoullah Ba, followed by a 0-0 draw at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland also won their previous visit to QPR, claiming a 3-0 victory in February 2023. Since 2014, QPR has managed just one win over Sunderland, which occurred at home during the 2017/18 Championship season when the Black Cats finished last.
This season, Sunderland has the best away record, securing 12 points from six games, while QPR holds the 23rd best home record, earning just three points from six matches, all of which came from draws.
