Sunderland – Dinamo Zagreb

Sunderland host Dinamo Zagreb at the Stadium of Light with the Black Cats sitting 20th in the league, having amassed just four points from one win, one draw and five defeats while conceding 14 goals and scoring six. Their precarious position means a positive result is essential if they are to climb out of the relegation zone. Dinamo Zagreb’s recent form and exact standing are not available, but the Croatian side will be keen to add to their European pedigree on English soil. The fixture promises a crucial test for Sunderland, who will need to tighten up at the back and find the net more often if they hope to turn their season around.
