Analysis of the match between Sunderland and Fulham
In the 2025/26 Premier League standings, Sunderland currently sit in 11th place with 36 points. They are level on points with Newcastle but rank below due to an inferior goal difference (-3 compared to 0).
Even so, this is still an impressive achievement for a newly promoted side like Sunderland. The “Black Cats” could further improve their position if they secure all three points in this round.
However, the challenge facing Sunderland is far from easy as they take on Fulham. The London-based club is just two points behind and ready to overtake them with a positive result.
Both teams have shown similar recent form, winning two of their last five matches. Nevertheless, Fulham hold the edge in head-to-head records, winning three and drawing one of the last four meetings with Sunderland.
Moreover, in the last eight times Sunderland hosted Fulham at the Stadium of Light, they have not dominated, recording just one win, four draws, and three defeats. Based on these statistics, Fulham have every reason to be confident about taking all three points away from home.
