Sunderland vs Fulham Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd February 2026

Both Sunderland and Fulham 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 Sunday.

Sunderland approach the next Premier League round as number 11 in the table, having claimed 36 points this season so far. With 26 games behind them, Fulham amassed 34 points, placing them as number 12 before their next fixture.

Separated only by a narrow margin, a win for Fulham in their upcoming Premier League clash will see them swap positions with Sunderland. Thus, a highly competitive match surely awaits at Stadium of Light.

Sunderland vs Fulham Prediction

Sunderland Form

Sunderland suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Arsenal in a 3-0 defeat. Liverpool also proved too hard to handle, as they won 0-1, before Sunderland were able to strike back last time out in a 0-1 win against Oxford. Sunderland claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored seven and conceded three goals.

Fulham Form

Fulham collected one win from their last three matches, as Everton won by 1-2. Manchester City were too strong as well, winning 3-0, before Fulham won 1-2 against Stoke. Fulham claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches reads ten goals conceded and seven scored.

Going forward, Sunderland and Fulham are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net this coming Sunday.

Sunderland have a record of nine wins, nine draws and eight defeats in the Premier League this season. Fulham are looking at ten wins, four draws and 12 defeats in the Premier League.
