Sunderland XI vs Ipswich Town – Predicted lineup and team news
Sunderland is set to start their new season of Premier League with a match against Ipswich Town on Saturday at the Portman Road.
Sunderland comes into the season riding a wave of confidence after achieving an impressive 7th-place finish last year. Régis Le Bris’s side maintained that standard throughout their summer schedule, recording three victories across their last five pre-season friendlies. The Black Cats look defensively sound, securing a tight 1-0 win against Wrexham and an impressive 2-0 away victory at Lens, before rounding out preparations by defeating Stade Rennais 2-1.
Sunderland team news
Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris has chosen stability over evolution ahead of their Premier League and Europa League campaigns.
Unlike their free-spending hosts, the Black Cats enjoyed an incredibly quiet transfer window, securing only veteran free agent Thomas Meunier from Lille.
The squad’s core remains completely intact after successfully keeping hold of key figures like Granit Xhaka.
Heading into the opening weekend, Le Bris confirmed that winger Simon Adingra is the only definitive injury absentee.
There is a late fitness boost regarding right-back Meunier, who is expected to start if he passes a final pre-match fitness test following a minor back injury.
Furthermore, defenders Nordi Mukiele and Omar Rekik are fully cleared to play. Boasting strong familiarity and tactical continuity, Sunderland will look to leverage their established team chemistry to neutralize their opponent’s heavily altered lineup.
