Sky Sports pundit makes score prediction for Sunderland v Watford

Sunderland welcome Watford to the Stadium of Light tomorrow for their final home game of the 2022/23 Championship season.

But fans might yet be flocking back to the Stadium of Light to see their side take part in some play-off fixtures, for what would be the second season in a row.

The Black Cats earned promotion via the League One play-offs last time round and already they're battling for promotion to the Premier League, after what's been a superb season to date.

And making his prediction ahead of tomorrow's game, Sky Sports pundit David Prutton had this to say on Sunderland v Watford:

"Sunderland have hit form at the right time! What a big win that was for them at West Brom last week. The play-offs have moved from hope, to genuine possibility now if they keep their nerves over the next couple of games.

This is a good fixture for them, because Watford just look like they want the season to be over. If Sunderland keep their cool, they should get three points here."

Prutton predicts a 2-0 Sunderland win.

Sunderland certainly go into this game in better form. Tony Mowbray's men are unbeaten in their last seven and have won three of their last four to move up into the play-off places ahead of this weekend.

Watford meanwhile are tumbling down the table, with Chris Wilder's side sat in 13th place after a run of one win in seven.

And Mowbray will certainly have an eye on tonight's only Championship fixture which sees 7th place Millwall take on relegation-threatened Blackpool, with a win for the Lions able to lift them back into the top six at the expense of Sunderland.

Elsewhere, West Brom host Norwich City tomorrow, with Preston North End in action at Sheffield United. Blackburn Rovers meanwhile play Luton Town on Monday.

Sunderland v Watford kicks off at 3pm tomorrow.
