Sunderland vs Chelsea Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 8th November 2026

Chelsea go up against Sunderland this coming Sunday for a Premier League meeting at Stadium of Light.

Sitting bottom of the table, Sunderland have claimed five points after nine rounds, while Chelsea have amassed 16 points. This places the latter as number 4 in the Premier League at the moment.

With 3 defeats from their last 6 matches, the situation at Sunderland could probably be a lot better. They need to improve their game or prepare for more disappointment as they face The Blues at home.

Chelsea are brimming with confidence in front of goal before the upcoming away match in the Premier League, as they can show off very handsome numbers from their previous ten games. The visitors scored two times on average per match, for a total of 20 goals. They also let in 17 goals, leaving an average of 1.7 per match. They fought their way to two clean sheets.

Sunderland won the last two meetings against The Blues, as they followed up a 2-1 win by beating their upcoming opponent by a 2-1 score.
