Revealed: How Sunderland AFC's odds to win League One have shifted after quiet start to the transfer window

The 2021/22 League One season may still be a number of weeks away – but the bookmakers are making their predictions on how Sunderland and their rivals will fare next season.

Having failed to win promotion via the play-offs this time around, the Black Cats will be hoping to end their stay in the third tier at the fourth attempt as we head into next season.

However, Lee Johnson and the club’s executive team will have a big rebuilding job on their hands this summer – with a big turnover in players expected after seven first-teamers were released earlier this week.

The club have had a quiet start to the transfer window, with Jacob Carney the only senior signing confirmed thus far, but that hasn’t deterred the bookmakers who rate Sunderland’s chances highly.

The Black Cats were 7/1 a month ago, so how have their odds shifted since? We take a look at the latest League One promotion odds via SkyBet, with early favourites emerging.
