i like sunderland here as they fell below their usual standards when they drew 1-1 at home to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup fourth round last time round but they can make amends in this replay. The Black Cats are flying in the Premier League and should be too strong for a Boro side hampered by the absence of injured striker Scott McDonald.im going black cats win for sure on this one,bol which ever u pick,one more point i may add is that sunderland won there last 5 or maybe 4 cant recall right now away games
Middlesbrough but Sunderland is in better shape right now and I think they might be more interested in this cup than Boro. Middlesbrough are 6th in Championship and may lose chance to fight for Premiership in barrages.
I also like Sunderland in this spot. I've made a lot recently riding their good form. The safer bet of course is just for black cats to advance, but I think I'm going with them FT here.
I like sunderland here to win. Last time it went as a public bet imo, and they played well, had chances, had a disallowed goal. middlesbrough created a lot of chances too, but I see an away win if sunderland play their best players. I will check for expected line ups and post them here.
similar line ups for sunderland as in the last match:
Mignolet
Bardsley, Brown, O'Shea, Richardson
McClean, Gardner, Colback, Larrson
Sessegnon, Wickham
Boro seems to be having some injury problems, their striker Mcdonald(australian intntl player) is out, and the guy who scored the goal in the first match vs sunderland might be out as well.
