Revealed: Sunderland AFC's interesting odds to win League One in 2021/22 after transfer plans revealed

The 2021/22 League One season may still be months away – but the bookmakers are already starting to predict 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.

Transfer plans are now clearer, with Johnson set to strengthen a number of key areas of the field.

And although it is set to be a very busy summer on Wearside, the bookmakers rate Sunderland’s chances highly.

Here, we take a look at the latest League One promotion odds via SkyBet, with early favourites emerging.
