Supporters of Sunderland and Newcastle are very much used to seeing each other around. The area of South Tyneside is heavily populated with a mixture of Geordie and Mackem followers who are all very passionate about their teams, and workplaces are often abuzz with the football news, especially of news surrounding the two big North East clubs.
However, one place in which the fans have not seen each other in recent times is in the football stadium itself. This has been the longest gap between Tyne/Wear derbies the Second World War, there hadn’t been a gap of longer than five years until Sunderland suffered relegation from the Premier League in 2016 and haven’t returned since.
One can only imagine the excitement of the fans when Newcastle United came out of the metaphorical hat to play at the Stadium of Light in this FA Cup Third Round. There has been 6000 tickets allocated in the Wearside ground to the Newcastle fans, around 12% of capacity, which should guarantee a great atmosphere, as well as a heavy police presence.
On the pitch, Eddie Howe’s men need a lift after a very tricky period. Howe has done an incredible job as Newcastle manager, but he is under pressure from some quarters given Newcastle’s recent form. Michael Beale is the new man in the Sunderland dugout but the Black Cats have had a solid season so far, sitting in 6th place in the Championship table at the moment.
There are lots of aspects to consider when putting a bet builder together for this match. The difference between the two leagues is a major consideration, as is the potential rotation that may occur, but there is a real excitement to this tie and that plays into the bet builder selections as well.
