Bookmakers offer odds for Sunderland to be promoted to Championship
According to bookmaker’s SkyBet, Sunderland are 9/4 joint-favourites to win promotion from League One this season.
Ipswich Town are the other side tipped to go up automatically with relegated Sheffield Wednesday also in the picture at 3/1.
However, SkyBet do not predict that any Sunderland striker will be able to single-handedly fire them to promotion with Ross Stewart given odds of 18/1 to be League One’s Top Goalscorer.
