In a surprising turn of events in the English League Championship, Blackburn Rovers defeated Sunderland 1-0 at the Stadium of Light. Tyrhys Dolan's 33rd-minute goal proved to be the difference in a match where Sunderland dominated possession with 58.1% but struggled to convert it into meaningful chances. The home side managed 16 shots in total, but only 2 were on target, highlighting their inefficiency in front of goal. Blackburn, despite having only 2 shots, made one count. Sunderland's frustration was evident as they committed fewer fouls (7) compared to Blackburn's 15, who were also shown two yellow cards to Sunderland's one.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Sunderland win, with a 44.0% probability, which proved incorrect. This result contradicts the AI's assessment that the game wouldn't be balanced. Sunderland's recent form has been patchy, with two losses, two wins and a draw in their last five games, while Blackburn has been more consistent with three wins, one loss, and a draw in their recent matches. Considering that, Sunderland will face Queens Park Rangers in their next match and in the last head-to-head games they were not successful, while Blackburn Rovers will play against Watford. In the last head-to-head matches Blackburn won twice and lost three times. Compared to previous matches between these two teams, this game was rather low scoring, although Blackburn's defensive performance was more clinical than in previous games. Notably, in their last five meetings, there were two draws and each team won two matches.
