Stoke City vs Sunderland – (Saturday 29th – 3.00pm)

Posted by Scorecaster in Premiership.

We are greatly interested in this game as it brings together two managers we have the greatest of respect for & we feel both of these sides will give punters plenty of cheer this season.

Stoke City were the real success of last season & their achievement of not only staying up but doing it with a fair degree of comfort deserve great respect.

Tony Pulis is a manager & person whom we rate very highly & his ability to get the very best out of the Stoke City squad and also conduct himself in a very professional manner with great honour & integrity sits well with us.

Stoke City were incredible at home last season, being spurred on every time by their tremendous crowd & home form will again be the key this year, so we expect much of the same from them.

Steve Bruce has taken over at Sunderland after doing a great job at Wigan & we do expect him to have a major impact at Sunderland in the next couple of seasons & beyond.

Sunderland have got the profile of a progressive club & they certainly have given Steve Bruce plenty of backing in the transfer market which has enabled him to sign the quality that will enhance Sunderland’s level of performance.

Both Tony Pulis & Steve Bruce base their teams on being solid, physically strong, organised & this certainly looks set to be a very competitive match in which we feel both teams will cancel each other out & a scoring draw looks the value bet in our view.
