If this game was in a few weeks I’d say easy win for us, but as they’re at home first game back in the division I’d say either score draw or they nick it. It’ll basically be their cup final.

They will come out of the blocks fast on Sunday, with the crowd behind them. We'll need to be patient, and let our passing game warm up, and then pick them off. Can see them getting an early goal perhaps, but then we go to town 1-3

My thoughts entirely, don’t want promoted teams first half dozen games.

I think it will be a very cagey first half. Potentially even going 1 down early on. I do see us finishing the stronger and snatching a late winner.

Must win game already, at least mustn't lose - it will likely set the tone for the early part of the season. They'll be a tough test, rested and at full strength. I'd take a draw at that hell hole but 0-3 would be so much better

I think they will score first, early in the game, but we will prevail....1-4

2-0 comfortable sky blue win. Early goal within 15 mins, and another just before half time.

1-1 - they’ve got a bit of bounce after being promoted. Need to get over this shitty “rivalry” they’ll be decent at this level - draw will be a good result.

hoping for a good friendly atmosphere and a cov 2-1 win, reckon they will be leading at half time and we will come strong in the second half

Not happy about having 2 promoted teams first 2 games when their tales will be up But still thinkwe should have enough to win both games.
Watched the mackems in the play offssemis and final and they wouldn't have lived with our L1 winning team.

I see that differently, it’s a chance to play them before they’ve adjusted to the higher difficulty. Took us quite a while to get into it and we’d been promoted pretty comfortably.

I think if Neil had gone in sooner they would've probably won the league. Standard was shite last season. Keep Stewart quiet and should be a straightforward win though

There's no 'rivalry' HDW, just people who probably weren't even born at that time baiting one another.

In all honesty though, anyone thinking we'll walk this is in for shock. If they get the crowd behind them early we'll do well getting anything from the game.

I disagree if we keep them quiet for the first 10 the Sunderland day trippers are gonna start moaning and if we score first it’s gonna get toxic. We will fill are boots and go top of the league

I fancy a comfortable 2-0 or 3-1 to us. They might well go for it early with a big crowd behind them allowing us to hit them on the break. We just need to keep it tight for the first 15 - 20 minutes and pop their party balloon.

There’ll be plenty of knuckle dragging mackems reading this thread, I’m sure.

Not worried about the game at all. Easy enough game for us. We’ll be 2 or 3 up come half time and they won’t do anything in the second half to answer it.

I must say, you lot are very confident on here.

It's the first game of the season, anything can happen, and I think we are in for a very tough afternoon. We can win, sure, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet. I think Sunderland will be decent and with it being the first game after a promotion, and a rival derby for them, with a big home crowd, I cannot see how it is going to be a walk in the park like some people think.

3 years of experience in this league for us must be a big boost for us, we know how quick and strong you need to be. I think they’ll be in for a big surprise this season, especially those who think they’re too good/big to be in this league.

We've only been in this league for 2 seasons ? (sorry to be pedantic!)

Very difficult opening game with 35k+ roaring them on. Would happily take a point at this moment. First game back at this level and at their ground they will be very hard to beat. Over the season I expect/hope to finish above them (10th to their 17th) but I’m a little anxious about this opener.

This one could go either way - but I think it will be an entertaining affair. I’ll go 2-2 with godden and gyokeres on target for us
