Comments on the match Crystal Palace vs Sunderland, 9:00 p.m. September 13: Bullying the rookie

VHO - Commentary on the match Crystal Palace vs Sunderland, round 4 of the Premier League, good head-to-head record against rookie clubs helps the home team confidently extend their winning streak.

Crystal Palace vs Sunderland form

Crystal Palace has maintained stable form from the second half of last season until now.

Since the 0-5 defeat at Newcastle's St James' Park in mid-April, the team under coach Oliver Glasner has gone through a 14-match unbeaten streak in official tournaments.

In that winning streak, Palace impressed by holding or defeating big teams like Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea.

If only counting in the Premier League arena, The Eagles are on a 9-match unbeaten streak.

In the most recent round, the home team at Selhurst Park made a strong impression when they won 3-0 right at Aston Villa's home ground.

That magnificent performance, along with a ticket to the Conference League qualifying round after overcoming Fredrikstad (Norway) in the play-offs, was enough to bring extreme excitement to south London fans.

This round will continue to bring the opportunity to extend the happy days for Crystal Palace.

Welcoming newcomer Sunderland, the home team will definitely aim to get all 3 points. But there are still certain concerns that make Selhurst Park fans uneasy.

First of all, we have to mention the issue related to coach Oliver Glasner. Over the past month, there have been many rumors about the possibility that the Austrian strategist will leave due to dissatisfaction with the transfer policy.

Especially after the departure of captain Eberechi Eze (to Arsenal for 60 million pounds).

In addition, history is not in favor of Palace winning. In the last 7 encounters between the two sides in the top flight of the foggy country, the home team has not won once. On the contrary, in 5 of those times, the away team went home with the joy of victory.

The home team is unbeaten this season.

On the rankings, Sunderland is even ranked 3 places above Crystal Palace. Although not having an unbeaten record like their opponent, the Black Cats still have 1 more point thanks to a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. However, all the points earned by the northeastern team came at home at The Light.

In their only away trip since the start of the season, Sunderland lost 0-2 to another rookie, Burnley. Statistics show that the team's ability to travel under coach Regis Le Bris is still a big question mark.

The visit to Selhurst Park therefore still has many potential risks for the away team. Especially when Crystal Palace has an impressive record of "bullying" new recruits. In 16 encounters with newly promoted teams, the London team won 10, drew 5 and lost only 1.
