Match Preview
Sunderland will host Huddersfield Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening at the Stadium of Light, with both teams looking to build momentum in this knockout competition. Sunderland's recent form shows a mixed bag with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches, while Huddersfield has been slightly more consistent, securing three wins and two losses. The home side will be keen to leverage their home advantage, where they have historically performed well against Huddersfield, winning the last encounter at home. One key angle to consider is Sunderland's defensive resilience, which has seen them keep a clean sheet in two of their last five outings. This could be crucial against a Huddersfield side that has struggled to find the net consistently, with both teams having only managed to score in two of their last five matches. The odds suggest a tight contest, with Sunderland favoured at 1.57, while a bet on both teams to score (BTTS) at 1.8 could be worth exploring given the unpredictability of cup ties.
