Bournemouth vs Sunderland Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 28th February 2026

Both Bournemouth and Sunderland are currently enjoying the comforts of mid-table in the Premier League. Both teams will be eager to make a push for an even stronger position, when going toe-to-toe on Saturday.

Bournemouth approach round 28 as number 8 in the Premier League table with 38 points on their account so far. With 27 rounds behind them, Sunderland have amassed 36 points, placing them as number 12 in the standings.

Bournemouth have their eyes set on a good performance and, more importantly, three points, when facing Sunderland. On home soil, the former should have the upper hand, as they aim to move inside the top six.

Bournemouth step into their next home match on Saturday having scored a nice average of 1.7 goals in ten matches. They managed a total of 17 goals, while also allowing 16 goals against. That is an average of 1.6 goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet two times in those matches.

Sunderland scored nine goals, conceded 16 and kept their opponents from scoring two times in ten matches.

Bournemouth lost to 3-2 Sunderland in their last encounter. This served as payback for the 1-0 win, which Bournemouth dished out the match before that.

Bournemouth vs Sunderland Prediction

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth have gone unbeaten in their previous three matches, which included a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, a 1-2 victory over Everton, and a 0-0 draw with West Ham. Bournemouth claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Premier League. They also drew three and lost one, scored ten goals and conceded nine.

Sunderland Form

It is all or nothing with Sunderland, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 0-1 against Liverpool, before beating Oxford 0-1. Unable to build on that, they lost 1-3 against Fulham. Sunderland didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed two draws, while suffering four defeats. They conceded 13 and scored two goals themselves.

Bournemouth have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Sunderland are capable of getting in the way of the home side at Vitality Stadium, as we aim for the home win.

Bournemouth took 25 points from their last 14 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to six wins after scoring 22 times and conceding 15. Sunderland claimed three wins and 14 points from their last 15 encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League, while scoring 13 goals to 25 against. Bournemouth claimed nine wins, 11 draws as well as seven defeats in the Premier League this season. Sunderland are looking at nine wins, nine draws and nine defeats in the Premier League.
