Sunderland on the move
Sunderland's last match of the season ended in the best way with a 3-0 win over Millwall, that victory made it nine matches without defeat, and with the victory in the first leg, undoubtedly proves that they are at their best.

Sunderland wants the best end to the season
Sunderland is a team with a long tradition and even a team with one of the most intense fans in England, the team is recovering from having spent several seasons in Football League One, now the team has a great opportunity to seek promotion to the Premier League, if this happens it would be historic as it reflects the great work of everyone in the team, Sunderland qualified to Playoffs in sixth position with 69 points, practically the goal difference placed them in Playoffs, but this team knows that they have to take advantage of every opportunity as it is not easy to compete in the Championship, with the advantage in the scoreboard, Sunderland has to go to Luton's home and make a perfect game, going out confident would be the biggest mistake they can make and that is why the match will be very entertaining.
Luton for all or nothing
Luton in the last couple of seasons, has been a team that has the goal of promotion very clear, the previous season managed to qualify for the Playoff and unfortunately lost in the semifinal against Huddersfield Town, now in a great season, the team managed to finish in third place with 80 points, after this season was certainly emerging as the favorite to be promoted, Unfortunately they lost the first match against Sunderland, what Luton has to do in the second leg is to win if or if, with a score of 2-1 against the duel does not seem so complicated since they will play at home, the fans are very important in these duels, so they will also have a weight in the game, being the second team with fewer lost games, it would not be surprising if they manage to overcome the score.
Close to the Premier League
The semifinals of the EFL Championship are close to deliver the first finalist, in one of the most competitive tournaments in the world, the Championship has that great peculiarity, where the last promoted team is defined in a playoff with 4 teams, Luton and Sunderland will seek to access the final at Luton's home, with the disadvantage of the home team, the game looks to be one of the best.
